Aston Martin have announced that Dan Fallows is stepping down from his role as the team's F1 technical director. 

On Tuesday, the Silverstone-based outfit confirmed 🌼Fallows will leave his current position from November but will "remain with the group". 

Fallows only joined Aston Martin as technica💦l di꧋rector in 2022 after a compromise deal with Red Bull was reached to secure the highly-rated designer's services. 

Aston Martin have managed to poach leꦉgendary F1 designer Adrian Newey away from Red Bull. The 65-year-old, who is reportedly on a contract worth a possible £30m a year, will start work in March next year.

The news of Fallows' departure comes somewhat as a surprise given he was one of Newey's key lieജutenants during their time at Red Bull. 

“In my time at Aston Martin, it has been a jo𝓰y🌺 and a privilege to guide the technical team on their journey towards being race and championship winners," Fallows said. 

" It is time for me to p♈ass on the baton, but I look forward to watching the team's future success, which I🐠 am sure will come soon.” 

Aston Martin Group CEO Andy Cowell said: “I ℱwould like to thank Dan for his contribution to Aston Martin ♓Aramco in the last two years. Dan led the team to the success of the AMR23 which secured eight podiums last season.” 

Aston Martin have endured a challenging 2024 campaign and sit a ♓distant fifth in the constructors' championship on 86 points. 

The team's car development hওas been consistently troubled siꦡnce making a stunning start to the 2023 season.

Owner Lawrence Stroll has grand ambitions to turn Aston Martin into race winners and 🔥championship co🌠ntenders in the coming years. 

Aston Martin have also signed former Ferrari chassis head Enric⛎o Cardile as their new chief technical officer.
