Enrico Cardile will soon make the switch to Aston Martin. However, Ferrari is reported to be blocking an imminent move, much to the anger of the British team.
Ferrari is reportedly delaying Enrico Cardile’s move to Aston Martin until the summer. Cardile is required to serve a 12-month gardening leave before starting at the Silverstone team on July 17. He will oversee the architecture, design, and structure of Aston Martin’s F1 cars upon his arrival. However, the delay may limit his impact on the 2026 car with new F1 regulations. Cardile will work closely with Aston Martin’s technical director Adrian Newey. There seem to be disagreements between the teams, leading to lawyers getting involved in the case. Aston Martin CEO Lawrence Stroll is said to be upset over the delay in Cardile’s joining, while official statements are being avoided by the team.
