Round 2 of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship took place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on 9 March 2024. Fernando Alonso steered the Aston Martin AMR24 No. 14 to fifth place, delivering Aston Martin's strongest result of that race weekend. Spark Model has captured that specific performance in a resin 1:43 model, faithful to the car's race-day configuration.
The AMR24: Architecture and Power
The Aston Martin AMR24 is the team's 2024 Formula 1 challenger, developed from the AMR23 platform with extensive aerodynamic revisions. Its power unit is the Mercedes-AMG F1 M15 E Performance — a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 hybrid shared with the 2024 Mercedes W15. The chassis reflects an architecture that had undergone significant evolution since the team's return to the front of the midfield in 2023, positioning the AMR24 as a refined iteration of a concept already proven over a full season.
Jeddah, March 2024: Alonso Holds Fifth
The 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen for Red Bull. Alonso's fifth place, starting from a competitive grid position at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, represented the best result Aston Martin could extract from that round. For a two-time World Champion — Alonso took his titles in 2005 and 2006 — every race-specific result adds a documented chapter to a career that spans multiple decades and constructors. The AMR24's British Racing Green livery, accented with lime green and carrying Aramco and Cognizant branding, is one of the most visually cohesive schemes on the 2024 grid.
Spark Model in 1:43: Resin and Tampo Print
Spark Model produces this 1:43 scale model in resin, with photo-etched metal details added where the geometry demands precision that cast material alone cannot provide. Livery graphics are applied via tampo printing, a process that reproduces fine sponsor lettering and the layered dark forest green base of the AMR24 with consistent accuracy across the production run. The result is a model that reads as a direct record of Car No. 14 at Round 2 of 2024 — not a generic season car.
In the Display Cabinet
This model pairs naturally with Spark's AMR24 No. 18 for Lance Stroll at the same event, completing Aston Martin's two-car entry at the 2024 Saudi Arabian GP. Collectors building a season-complete 2024 F1 grid will find it slots coherently alongside the full Spark 1:43 2024 race series. For Alonso specialists, it complements earlier Spark releases covering his AMR23 campaign in 2023 and his Alpine A522 No. 14 from 2022, tracing a continuous thread through the Spaniard's recent constructors.
