Speaking of the announcement, Cowell said: “I have spent the las๊t three monthsꦓ understanding and assessing our performance, and I've been incredibly impressed by the dedication, commitment, and hard work of this team.

“With the completion of the AMR Technology Campus and our transition in 2026 to a full works team, alongside our strategic partners Honda and Aramco, we are onܫ a journey to becoming a Championship-winning team.

“These organisational changes are a natural evolut💦ion of the multi-year plans that we have scheduled to make, and I'm incredibly excited about the fu💝ture.”

Who is Andy Cowell?

Cowell is widely regarded as the brains behind Mer📖cedes’ engine dominance at the start of🐽 the hybrid era in 2014.

He spearheaded Mercedes High Performance Powertrains from 👍2013. Mercedes dominated the start of the hybrid era, and that was mainly down to how incredible 🌌their engine was.

It was felt in the hands of their customer teams, particularly ඣWilliams.

Williams were propelled from the lower midfield to regular💙 podium finishers, b🌌enefitting from Mercedes’ powerful engine.

Cow꧂ell left Mercedes in the middle of 2020 following six 🔯constructors’ title wins.
