2024 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

[-wkst-]

Krack is shown in todays published video of the opening of building 2. So obviously he is here to stay...
Must admit that I never thought he would still be here in autumn.

So, more or less official confirmation:

Structure needs to be right for this to work, but Stroll is certainly going for gold.

"..Managing Technical Partner..." Interesting position nomenclature Where does it stand in company hierarchy?

Article on Newey to Aston.

Just as I suspected, it sounds like he will lead development of the car under the new regs. He is already a legend but taking AM to a championship will solidify him as the greatest.

AM now has everything they need to succeed for 2026.

Also he became Aston Martin shareholder as well.

We have various "Business Partners" where I work and noone really knows what it means

sometimes dreams come true

It’s annoying that Stroll is the one to get most of the benefits for this, a pay driver who just happened to have a dad both with the resources and commitment to give him a strong team, but I would be lying if I said I don’t like the prospect of a 3rd Alonso title before he retires.

Alonso is like you either die as a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a Newey merchant

It'll be interesting to look at how they structure their staff vis-a-vis the cost cap considering all the big names they have on board now. Clearly Newey will be one of the exempt based on his salary. Krack and Fallows are there. There's Andy Cowell replacing Whitmarsh (dont know if he counts). Then there is Luca Furbatto and Eric Blandin. Tom McCullough and Bob Bell are also there. I imagine all these guys were paid well to come to AM. Some sackings possible?

Or some clever financial engineering

Move them to the Catering Department?
