The signing of Adrian Newey is arguably the only good news from Aston Martin in 2024. After another season of poor development, changes are taking place to their technical hierarchy. This restructuring will define Aston’s approach to the 2026 regulations.

Dan Fallows was signed from Red Bull to lead Aston Martin's technical efforts but is now leaving the F1 team ahead of the arrival of Adrian Newey, also from Red Bull, next March

Dan Fallows is leaving his role as Aston Martin technical director this month but will stay within the group, the Silverstone-based Formula One team said on Tuesday.

Aston Martin’s F1 team have announced the departure of Dan Fallows from his role as technical director in a surprise move on Tuesday. In September, Aston lured F1 design genius Adrian Newey from Red Bull in a £20m-a-year deal in what was seen as a massive coup for Lawrence Stroll’s outfit.

Formula 1 team Aston Martin have made a shock change as they continue to plan for next season. Despite coming into 2024 with ambitions to challenge at the top of the order, the British outfit have fallen well short of expectations.
