Lewis Hamilton team member announces switch
A member of Lewis Hamilton’s team has announced on social media their move to Aston Martin, a rival of Ferrari, ahead of the 2026 F1 championship. This comes after Hamilton recently parted ways with his manager Marc Hynes and press officer Ella Yeboah, both formerly part of Project 44 and Lewis Hamilton Ventures. Additionally, Senior Impact Manager Stephanie Travers has left Hamilton’s foundation Mission 44 to join Aston Martin F1.
Mission 44, which focuses on diversity in motorsport and supporting youth in STEM careers, has seen Travers depart for a new role. Hamilton, known for promoting diversity in F1, made headlines in 2020 when Travers, then with Petronas, became the first black woman on an F1 podium. Travers later held roles with Hamilton’s personal ventures before joining Aston Martin.
Travers’ LinkedIn profile confirms her new position as Senior Trackside Fluid Manager with Aramco, Aston Martin’s technical partner in F1. In an Instagram post, she shared the news and expressed excitement for her new chapter with Aston Martin F1. Overall, Travers’ shift from Mission 44 to Aston Martin signals a new phase in her career within the Formula 1 paddock.
