Otmar Szafnauer steps down as team principal of Formula 1 team Aston Martin. The 57-year-old Romanian American was employed by the stable for twelve years.
“Luckily we are led by a strong group of individuals and we feel good to take some time to explore options before announcing a new team structure,” said Aston Martin.
Preparations for the new Formula 1 season are in full swing. German Sebastian Vettel and Canadian Lance Stroll are under contract with Aston Martin. Stroll is the son of owner Lawrence Stroll.
The British racing stable says that the focus will initially be on the drivers and on the season they have ahead of them, which starts on March 20 in Bahrain. “The focus of the team is currently on making as complete a car as possible for next season,” Aston Martin wrote in their press release.
