Enrico Cardile to join Aston Martin as F1 Chief Technical Officer following Ferrari departure

Aston Martin have announced that Enrico Cardile will join the team as F1 Chief Technical Officer in 2025, with the Italian recently departing his position as Technical Director Chassis and Aerodynamics at Ferrari.

It was confirmed on Monday that Cardile would depart the Scuderia with immediate effect following two decades of working for the company, and now his destination has become clear after it was confirmed that he will become a part of the technical leadership team at Aston Martin in a newly-created role.

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin, said of Cardile’s arrival: “I would like to welcome Enrico to Aston Martin Aramco as we look to reinforce the technical leadership team ahead of significant regulation changes in 2026. I am thrilled that we continue to attract world-class talent to our team.

Team Principal Mike Krack commented: “I am delighted to welcome Enrico to Aston Martin Aramco. Enrico has nearly 20 years of experience at Ferrari and will offer a fresh perspective to our technical strategy.

"This is a key appointment for the team as we build towards the new 2026 regulations – an important next step on our journey."
