Dan Fallows will be stepping down as Aston Martin’s technical director before the arrival of his former boss, Adrian Newey, during the 2025 Formula 1 season. Fallows, aged 50, has had a diverse career in F1, starting at Jaguar in the early 2000s and later joining Red Bull in 2006, where he played a pivotal role in the team’s success until 2021. Aston Martin showed promise at the start of Fallows’ tenure in 2023, but struggled in the second half of the season and finished fifth in 2024. The team faces changes with the upcoming arrival of Newey and the relocation of Fallows, prompting a reshuffle in the technical department. Fallows’ departure from his role as technical director was expected due to the team’s underperformance and lack of progress towards becoming a leading team in F1, indicating a broader restructuring within Aston Martin under new leadership.
