Furbatto’s arrival as engineering director will see Aston Martin reshuffle its technical department, with Andrew Green taking up the role of chief technical offic𝕴er - the same role held b📖y James Allison at Mercedes.

Furbatto has been 🐽Alfa Romeo’s chief designer since 2017 but will move to the Silverstone꧟-based outfit ahead of next season.

Aston Martin conf🦹irmed that Furbatto will be the first of several signings as team principal Otmar Szafnauer 🐭has already outlined his ambitions to expand the team’s workforce ahead of 2022.

“As we continue to add weight to our technical team, we are hugely excited that Luca h♏as chosen to join Aston Martin,” Szafnauer said of the announcemꦯent.

“Working w🐻ith our existing Engineering Group, he will bring a valuable perspecti💯ve and knowledge to help shape our approach in the short and medium-term.

“This appointment coincides with Andrew𒐪 stepping up to a new role where he will take a global perspective on the company’s mid to long-term techn꧙ical strategy.”

Furbatt🅠o added: “It is very exciting to join Aston Martin as engineering director. It is a project that has all the ingredients for success – committed leadership, a talented workforce, and fresh invest𓄧ment in resources.

“I am looking forward to p🐎laying my part in establishi🌌ng this team at the very top of the sport.”

Aston Martin currently sits sixth in the 2021 F1 constructors🔜’ championship having scored its first podium of the season last time 💃out in Azerbaijan.
