Aston Martin has announced that Mike Krack will not be team principal for the F1 2025 season, with a recent hire taking over in the leadership role.
A new name will take over as team boss at Aston Martin for the F1 2025 season, with Mike Krack stepping aside from the team principal role in order to hand the reins over to Andy Cowell.
On Friday, Aston Martin announced that he had restructured his control team for season F1 2025.
Krack, who has been crew chief for 3 seasons, will take part in a new role as track leader.
It will be replaced through Andy Cowell, former director of Mercedes High Performance engines. Cowell joined the team in mid -2024, CEO of the organization in October to succeed Martin Whitmarsh.
Under Krack, Aston Martin ran seventh in general in 2022, before moving to fifth place in 2023 and repeat the feat in 24.
2023 has brought many maximums for the Silverstone -based team, with Fernando Alonso emerging with a competitive AMR 23 to take multiple podiums and even sometimes, he was disputed by a possible race in the race.
However, the 2024 car proved to be less competitive with no podiums imaginable. Alonso scored 70 of Aston Martin’s 94 points, with Lance Stroll taking the other 24.
Tom McCullough, who had been for trackside engineering, will remain with Aston Martin; his role will be broader, racing as a leader for Aston Martin’s expansion of the racing categories.
With Cowell as CEO/Boss and Krack Team as Lead Track Officer, Enrico Cardin’s new technical signaling will lead next year’s Designalalalalal and structure branch of next year’s AMR25 and AMR26, will be under the watchful eye of Adrian Newey, who will be signaled as a signalalized as a signalal Signalalalal
“I have spent the last 3 months and comparing our performance, and I have been incredibly inspired by the dedication, commitment and hard paintings of this team,” Cowell said about the adjustments made.
“With the final touch of the AMR generation campus and our transition in 2026 to a complete work team, along our strategic partners Honda and Aramco, we travel to a winning team of the championship.
“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.”
It’s a period of intense change for Aston Martin. Alongside the personnel and management changes, Lawrence Stroll instigated a huge overhaul of the team’s facilities at its Silverstone base, transforming it into one the most modern and advanced factories on the grid – the new infrastructure includes a state-of-the-art simulator rig and wind tunnel.
