Ferrari and Aston Martin have finally resolved the high profile
transfer of Enrico Cardile, who is set to join the
Silverstone-based outfit as its new chief technical officer. It
was reported earlier this year that Ferrari was blocking Cardile
from starting work at Aston Martin, insisting he fulfils a full 12
months of gardening leave. Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell
earlier confirmed that Cardile will oversee architecture, design
and structure of the team's F1 cars once he arrives, working
closely with Adrian Newey. As suggested by Italian publication
Corriere dello Sport , the delay in Cardile's arrival has led to
frustration for Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll. It was
understood that mediation had been agreed between the two teams,
but that it was broken for unclear reasons, resulting in lawyers
from both sides working together. However, a resolution between
the parties has been found, with Cardile now able to work for Aston
Martin in its preparations for the new power unit regulations next
season. An Aston Martin spokesperson stated: "We are pleased that a
resolution has been found and that Enrico can move forward with the
team as we look to 2026 and beyond as our Chief Technical Officer,
leading our design and technical functions at the AMR
Technology Campus."
