Andy Cowell becomes Aston Martin's team boss amid latest team restructure
Aston Martin has announced a restructuring of its senior management team, with CEO Andy Cowell having replaced Mike Krack as the team boss of the Silverstone-based outfit.
Aston Martin has announced a change of team principal as part of a major management reshuffle, with CEO Andy Cowell taking over the position previously held by Mike Krack.
The British outfit explained that the change was necessary "for clarity of leadership and as part of a shift to a flatter structure". Andy Cowell will continue to assume the role of CEO, but he will also act as team principal from now on.
Aston Martin has also announced that it has separated its aerodynamics, engineering and performance departments into two divisions, with one dedicated trackside and the second one the AMR Technology Campus-based team. Both divisions will report into Andy Cowell.
The trackside team will be led by former team boss Mike Krack, who will take on the role of Chief Trackside Officer.
The AMR Technology Campus-based team will be spearheaded by the team's new Chief Technical Officer, Enrico Cardile. Ferrari's former chief designer will oversee the architecture, design and build of new race cars.
Tom McCullough will remain with Aston Martin in a leadership position, but he will move away from the F1 division to focus on the expansion of the team's broader range of racing categories.
Reflecting on the announcement, newly-confirmed Andy Cowell noted: "I have spent the last three months understanding and assessing our performance, and I've been incredibly impressed by the dedication, commitment and hard work of this team.
"With the completion of the AMR Technology Campus and our transition in 2026 to a full works team, alongside our strategic partners Honda and Aramco, we are on a journey to becoming a Championship-winning team. These organisational changes are a natural evolution of the multi-year plans that we have scheduled to make and I'm incredibly excited about the future."
