The technician will remain until June 2026. Lawrence Stroll has been ‘stacking’ technicians of the highest value for years and in the face of such prosperous acquisition campaigns there cannot be room for everyone in the technical and managerial organization chart of Aston Martin. The latest coup was obviously Adrian Newey who was also recently appointed team principal, a role which as the English genius underlined is nothing more than “a title and nothing more”. Newey decided to accept the role of team principal also because he had already taken into account the fact of being present at all the GPs. Lawrence Stroll has given carte blanche and the keys to the team to the former Red Bull and it is normal that someone faced with this reshuffle steps aside, specifically the former team principal Andy Cowell. The Mercedes engine engineer had inherited the Aston Martin wall from Mike Krack and as reported by planetf1.com in mid-2026 he will separate from Aston Martin in the face of an inevitable ‘incompatibility’ with Adrian Newey. Andy Cowell’s profile could be attractive for the other teams involved in F1, we will see where the career of the technician who is credited with the great success of the Mercedes power unit at the dawn of the turbo-hybrid era that began in 2014 will continue.
