✅ Main takeaway:
Some employees leaving the F1 program may be retained in other parts of Aston Martin’s motorsport business.
The group also has a high-tech department, with former head coach Andrew Green having been transferred ahead of the 2023 season.
Design legend Adrian Newey joined Aston Martin as Managing Technology Partner in March this year and is leading the design of the team’s 2026 car.
The team has also appointed former Ferrari chassis technical director Enrico Cardele, who started in August after leaving Ferrari in July 2024.
Among the factors behind the restructuring is the need to stay within Formula One’s cost cap. All salaries of the people who work on the car’s design are included in the cost cap, except for the salaries of the three highest-paid executives.
Aston Martin has gone through an extensive recruitment drive in recent years as it seeks to transform itself into world title contenders.
Among those appointed by the team’s billionaire owner, Lawrence Stroll, are, in addition to Newey and Cardell, team principal and chief executive Andy Coyle, who was previously head of Mercedes’ engine company, HPP.
Next year, Aston Martin will begin an engine manufacturing partnership with Honda, which has supplied former champion Red Bull since 2019.
