Aston Martin in turmoil

The takeover of the manufacturer Aston Martin Lagonda, in the wake of the takeover of the Force India team, which became Racing Point, by the consortium led by Stroll Sr was to provide a solid foundation for his project.

A five-year plan has been drawn up of which we are in the second year and the sporting results are pending, Aston Martin Racing having sunk into the depths of the peloton.

The historic manager of the team Otmar Szafnauer left for Alpine, it was the inexperienced Mike Krack (ex-BMW) who replaced him.

We learn this morning that the CEO of Aston Martin Cars, former head of the AMG branch at Mercedes, slammed the door by highlighting the differences in strategy with Stroll. His successor will be Amadeo Felisa, flanked by new technical director Roberto Fedeli, both from Ferrari.

This waltz of directors raises questions while the future of the British manufacturer still seems uncertain in the current economic context of the industry.

At the same time, there are rumors of Audi Sport’s interest in the Aston Martin Formula 1 team and its infrastructure (including a new factory under construction) despite rival Mercedes being a 20% shareholder. of “Team Silverstone”.
