Aston Martin has lured one of Adrian Newey’s former Red Bull lieutenants back to Formula 1 to help drive forward its simulation tools, The Race can reveal
Aston Martin has recruited Giles Wood, a former Red Bull colleague of Adrian Newey, to lead its simulation tools in Formula 1.
Wood, who worked closely with Newey during Red Bull’s successful era, will serve as Aston Martin’s simulation and vehicle modelling director.
Newey previously identified Aston Martin’s weak simulator correlation and expressed the need for improvement.
Wood’s expertise in simulation tools from his McLaren and Red Bull background will aid in addressing these challenges.
In addition to Wood, Aston Martin has also hired Gioacchino ‘Jack’ Vino as its new chief aerodynamicist.
Both appointments are part of Aston Martin’s efforts to strengthen its technical team and improve performance in Formula 1.
