2024 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

[Sherrinford]

The team already has an amazing technical department, just think about the idea if they were to take Elliott too. It would be something incredible, similar to Ferrari in the early 2000s. Regardless, as I said, the team is already at a huge level, in my opinion, the only thing that needs to be sorted out is the paperwork. In any case, look at how Toto spoke about Cowell, we'll see if time will prove him right.

Who is the new technical director?

From what I could read...

Executive director Bob Bell, a highly regarded and experienced design engineer who joined the team in March, will fill in on a temporary basis.

Fallows' departure is a move driven by new managing director Andy Cowell. The former head of Mercedes' F1 engine programme started at Aston Martin in October.

The plan is to appoint a new technical director, but likely only after Newey and Cardile have started work and decided their plans.

Fallows was set to report to Cardile, who will join as Chief Technical Officer, but Motorsport.com understands the team hasn't yet decided if Fallows will be directly replaced once its new hires are in place.

In the meantime, Fallows' responsibilities will be absorbed by Aston's current technical leadership, which includes deputy technical director Eric Blandin and Bob Bell, who holds the role of Executive Director - Technical.

Well Bob Bell was hired to take up the 2026 car Project, that work is almost done. The 2026 car project will become the main stream project pretty soon. He's probably looking for new things to do.

We could be any hope with AMR25 now with Bob Bell in the front?

He is an ex-TD. We don't know but I would like to think he'll do OK

He was TD at Renault when Alonso won.

Yes. He won championships at Renault and Mercedes.
