Aston Martin has announced that erstwhile Ferrari Chassis Technical Director Enrico Cardile will become the side’s new Chief Technical Officer from the 2025 season.
Rumours emerged last month that Aston Martin was courting Cardile’s services and Ferrari divulged on Monday that the long-serving Italian has vacated his position.
The Silverstone-based squad has confirmed the expected move that will see Cardile take up a new role within the team as it continues to bolster its technical division.
“I’m looking forward to joining Aston Martin Aramco,” Cardile said. “The ambition and desire are clear and it is a unique opportunity to be part of that journey.
“This is a personal and professional challenge and I look forward to working with the team to bring success to this iconic brand.”
Cardile will arrive with extensive experience from his time at Ferrari and will assist Aston Martin’s current technical division as it builds towards the 2026 regulations.
Aston Martin Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll expressed: “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.
“Enrico shares my motivation to be successful in F1 and will have all the resources available to him to realise that ambition.
“Together with Andy Cowell joining as Group CEO in October and our existing leaders we are creating a formidable team.”
Aston Martin Team Principal Mike Krack added: “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.”
