Openwork movement in Aston Martin. In the final stretch of the season and with discomfort in the team due to the behavior of the car in the last races, the British team announced this Monday that Dan Fallows, its until now technical director, will leave the position “from the month of November” . Fallows, who joined the green team from Red Bull in 2023, will remain linked to the group.
In a statement, those from Silverstone have released a statement from Dan Fallows in which he takes stock of his time as the main person responsible for the car and its development: “It has been a joy and a privilege to guide the technical team on its path to victory in races and championships. “The time has come for me to pass the baton, but I look forward to the future success of the team, which I am sure will come soon.”
Fallows was the architect of the AMR23, which gave Fernando Alonso so many good results last year. The Asturian achieved eight podiums throughout the course, although in the last races the performance was no longer the same, with the exception of Brazil. On the other hand, this year’s car, the AMR24, has been very far from the top positions and the new parts and evolutions that have been incorporated have not given the expected result. In fact, the team started the year competing head-to-head with Mercedes as the fourth team and, although it is still in fifth position in the Constructors’ World Championship, after the return of the summer the cars behind have taken a step forward and have improved their performance. , something that the squad of which Lawrence Stroll is the owner has not achieved.

This replacement occurs in the midst of Aston Martin’s restructuring process. It should be noted that the British have already announced the signing of Enrico Cardile, from Ferrari, and the exciting incorporation of Adrian Newey (the most successful engineer in the history of Formula 1) starting in March 2025. It is expected that his landing will involve more changes in the organization chart. In parallel, the team already has its new wind tunnel in the final phase of construction.
