Cowell had joined the team in October 2024 as CEO. Now, as Team Principal, he will have Aston Martin’s Aerodynamics, Engineering, and Performance Departments (both track-side and at the AMR Technology Campus) reporting into him.

Meanwhile, Krack, who took on the role of Team Principal in 2022, will now work on getting maximum performance out of the car in his new role. 

Additionally, Aston Martin have also announced that Enrico Cardile will be taking up the role of Chief Technical Officer at the AMR Technology Campus, with Tom McCullough holding on to his leadership position. 

Andy Cowell, CEO and Team Principal, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, commented:

“I have spent the last three months understanding and assessing our performance, and I’ve been incredibly impressed by the dedication, commitment and hard work of this team. With the completion of the AMR Technology Campus and our transition in 2026 to a full works team, alongside our strategic partners Honda and Aramco, we are on a journey to becoming a Championship-winning team. These organisational changes are a natural evolution of the multi-year plans that we have scheduled to make and I’m incredibly excited about the future.“
