Aston Martin Starts F1 CTO Cardile After Ferrari Legal Dispute Resolution

Aston Martin has resolved a legal dispute with Ferrari that had delayed the start of Enrico Cardile as their chief technical officer. Cardile, formerly Ferrari's chassis technical director, was held to a year-long gardening leave by Ferrari, which then took legal action when it believed he had prematurely started working with Aston Martin. The Court of Modena initially upheld Ferrari's claims, forcing Cardile to cease collaboration with Aston Martin until July 2025. Following a resolution of the legal matter, Cardile has now begun his role at Aston Martin's Silverstone campus, joining forces with managing technical partner Adrian Newey. Cardile is tasked with leading Aston Martin's design and technical functions as the team prepares for the 2026 Formula 1 regulations. This marks a significant technical appointment for Aston Martin as they aim to strengthen their competitiveness in upcoming seasons.
