The Aston Martin AMR24 represented the team's third consecutive season as a constructor since returning to Formula 1 in 2021. Powered by the Mercedes-AMG F1 M15 E Performance 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 hybrid unit, the car was developed under the 2022-spec ground-effect regulations with a revised aerodynamic package relative to its predecessor. Spark Model's 1:43 replica fixes the car at one of the season's earliest rounds — a useful marker for following Aston Martin's 2024 campaign race by race.
The AMR24: Ground-Effect Architecture Under British Racing Green
Built to the 2022-specification ground-effect regulations that reshaped the entire F1 grid, the AMR24 evolved from the AMR23 with targeted aerodynamic and mechanical upgrades. The Mercedes-AMG M15 E Performance power unit — a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 hybrid — underpinned all Aston Martin efforts in 2024. The team competed under the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team banner, with championship constructors' points building from the opening rounds of the season.
Lance Stroll, Jeddah, 9 March 2024
Round 2 of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship took place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on 9 March 2024. Lance Stroll, running Car No. 18, crossed the line in 9th place, contributing 2 championship points to Aston Martin's tally at one of the calendar's fastest street circuits. The AMR24's dark British Racing Green with gold and teal accents — a visual identity first introduced in 2023 — was prominent throughout the Jeddah weekend under the intense Saudi floodlights. Stroll's No. 18 makes a logical companion to Fernando Alonso's No. 14 from the same event.
Spark Model's 1:43 Resin Replica
This 1:43 scale model is produced by Spark Model in resin with photo-etched metal detail parts, the construction standard Spark applies across its contemporary Formula 1 range. The approach allows precise rendering of the AMR24's aerodynamic surfaces, sponsor decals — Aramco and Cognizant branding both present — and the characteristic proportions of a 2024-regulation F1 car. Spark's 1:43 F1 series is widely regarded as the reference format for collectors tracking the modern grid race by race.
In the Display Cabinet
This model fits naturally into a season-by-season Aston Martin F1 narrative: it pairs directly with the AMR24 No. 14 Fernando Alonso from the same Saudi Arabian GP, and extends a run that can include the AMR23 and AMR22 in the same Spark 1:43 format. For collectors building a Lance Stroll career arc or tracking Aston Martin's post-2021 return to F1, this Jeddah car is one of the first race-specific AMR24 replicas from Round 2 of 2024 — an early-season reference point in the series.
