Former Mercedes Formula 1 engine chief Andy Cowell will replace ex-McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh as Aston Martin’s group CEO from 1 October, the team announced on Tuesday.
Cowell is best known for overseeing Mercedes’ High Performance Powertrains division between 2013 and 2020, during which it built the engines that led the Silver Arrows squad to dominate F1 and win seven title doubles in that period.
It also secured the 2021 constructors’ championship shortly after Cowell had transitioned to working as a Mercedes consultant.
