P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Long-serving Haas race engineer Gary Gannon has joined the Aston Martin Formula 1 squad, according to a report.
Gannon, Nico Hulkenberg’s former race engineer, has joined Aston Martin in an unspecified engineering role. Before working with Hulkenberg at Haas, Gannon served as Mick Schumacher’s race engineer and had previously worked with Romain Grosjean. Starting with Haas before their F1 debut in 2016, Gannon had also spent three seasons with the Marussia F1 team from 2011 to 2013. His extensive experience includes a decade as a Honda development engineer in the American Le Mans Series. Gannon’s role in Aston Martin’s switch from Red Bull to becoming the engine provider in 2026 is crucial, even though it’s unclear whether he will work with Lance Stroll or Fernando Alonso. This move coincides with organizational changes at Aston Martin under new CEO Andy Cowell, who has created two distinct car development squads and taken on the role of Team Principal.
