New team boss at Aston Martin: Cowell should attack championship!

A huge upheaval is imminent with Aston Martin! On January 10, 2025, it was announced that Andy Cowell took on the role of team leader in the British Formula 1 racing team and thus replaces Mike Krack. Krack, who has been in this position since 2022, has to take off after a disappointing season with only 94 points in fifth place in the constructor classification, while Cowell, who only joined the team as a group CEO last year, established a key figure in realignment. These surprising changes go hand in hand with Aston Martin's ambitions to become a serious championship team after the rules of the rule in 2026, as can be seen from a report by Cowell, who previously celebrated great success with their hybrid drive at Mercedes, reported in a press release that he was impressed by the dedication and commitment of the team. The structural adjustments should create more clarity in the leadership and enable a flatter hierarchy in the team. In this context, the development of Adrian Newey's vehicles, a former star at Red Bull, will also be managed from March 1st. Cowell relies on improvements in the field of aerodynamics and engineering to significantly increase the performance of the racing car, which is to be supported by the realignment of the departments on the racetrack and in the AMR technology campus, such as Formel1.de reported

While Cowell takes the lead, Mike Krack keeps a central role as a "Chief Trackside Officer" and is therefore preserved for the team. Another important member, Tom McCullough, will also continue in a management position to expand the team structure. The fans can be excited to see how Aston Martin will be in this new leadership and the changes in the upcoming Formula 1 season, which begins in Australia on March 16.
