In addition to recent poor performances, this month of November was marked by internal movement at Aston Martin. Between the Brazilian and Las Vegas Grands Prix, Lawrence Stroll's team made some strong decisions, thinking about its future.
The main one concerned its technical department with the confirmation of the departure of its director Dan Fallows, at the head for two years. However, the reasons for this remain unknown while Aston Martin only wanted to thank the Englishman for all of his contribution.
It was only in Qatar this week that the “file” was put back on the table when Mike Krack had to respond to media obligations on the sidelines of the Grand Prix. Asked about Dan Fallows, the team principal suggested that a change in the organization chart had become inevitable as the team is experiencing a very delicate end to the season with declining performances.
« In the end, what only matters is the result and the performancereplied Mike Krack. If performance is not there, there must be changes. This is something normal in our environment. It's no different in any other professional sport. If the performance is not there, the team decides to make changes, and that's what happened. » A departure may also be caused by the recent arrivals of Adrian Newey and Enrico Cardile.
With two rounds to go before the final whistle, Aston Martin is in 5th place among the Manufacturers with 86 points. His lead of 36 lengths over Haas should allow him to maintain it, while Fernando Alonso has not scored any points in the last 4 races, Lance Stroll on 9. Proof that the Greens are very far from their hoped-for level. Looking forward to the holidays.
