Speaking of today’s🥀 announcement, Szafnauer said: "Two weeks ago we announced the hiring of Luca Furbatto as our new engineering director, who will start work for us in🍃 due course.

"Last week Dan Fallows' forthcoming arrival as our new technical director was also made public. Today, Andrew Alessi is added to the impressive list of our senior technical/engineering hirings, as head of technical operations.ဣ Ours is a great team, and it always has been.

"Many times this year we have said: 'This team has always punched above its weight; now it has the weight with which to punch harder. That is absolutely true – and expert and experienced new arrivals such as Luca, Dan and now Andrew represent proof that we are buildi🌠ng the technical/engineering strength in depth that we need in order to deliver that harder punch."

Alessi hopes h🍸is expertise propels Aston Martin into a position where it can "win consistently in the future𒐪".

"Like everyone in and aro💮und F1, I have seen and been impressed by the evident ambition of the team I am joining, led as it is now by Lawrence Stroll, and I am very much lookꦬing forward to working with Otmar Szafnauer as well as the very capable technical- and engineering-focused members of the senior management team," he added.

"Now is a fantastic time to be joining a team that is growing fast, and I am ready to get stuck in straight away so as to contribute to the process of making the significant aerodyna🌱mic and operational improvements that we need in order to win consistently in the future."
