Ferrari has secured a legal victory in blocking its former Formula 1 chassis technical director Enrico Cardile from working for his new team Aston Martin before his contract ends
“Ferrari has succeeded in preventing its former Formula 1 chassis technical director, Enrico Cardile, from working with his new team, Aston Martin, before his gardening leave ends. Cardile was set to join Aston Martin as the chief technical officer, but Ferrari took legal action to maintain the terms of his contract until July. Aston Martin’s lack of clarity on Cardile’s start date raised questions, prompting Ferrari to intervene.
Andy Cowell, Aston Martin’s team principal, remained vague about the situation during the Bahrain test, emphasizing teamwork and the arrival of other new team members. Ferrari’s concerns about Cardile’s early collaboration with Aston Martin led to the court ruling in their favor, ordering Cardile to cease any ties with the team until July. Aston Martin’s performance during the Bahrain test was disappointing, and the team is yet to provide a statement on the Cardile issue.”
