Aston Martin has let go of at least seven staff from its Formula 1 (F1) design department as part of a restructuring ahead of the 2026 season.
Among those departing is Eric Blandin, who joined Mercedes in 2022 as Deputy Technical Director and has served as Aerodynamics Director since the start of this year. Some of the departing staff may be reassigned to other areas within Aston Martin’s broader motorsport operations.
The group also owns an advanced technologies division, where former Chief Technical Officer Andrew Green was moved before the 2023 season.
Design legend Adrian Newey joined Aston Martin in March as Managing Technical partner and is now leading the design of the team’s 2026 F1 car.
