Aston Martin Technical Director Dan Fallows Departs

Dan Fallows is stepping down as Technical Director of the Aston Martin Formula 1 team amid a significant leadership overhaul, effective immediately, though he will remain within the broader Aston Martin Group. Fallows' departure follows a disappointing 2024 season where the team has struggled, finishing fifth in the standings and unable to secure any podiums, a stark contrast to their success in 2023. His exit comes as former Red Bull designer Adrian Newey is set to join as Managing Technical Partner in 2025, alongside ex-Ferrari engineer Enrico Cardile, who will become Chief Technical Officer. Aston Martin's owner, Lawrence Stroll, continues to push for top-tier performance and championship contention, having invested heavily in the team's infrastructure and personnel. Fallows expressed confidence in the team's future success and acknowledged the need for new leadership to guide the technical team. The reshuffle reflects the ongoing transition as Aston Martin aims to enhance competitiveness in Formula 1.
