Long-serving Haas race engineer Gary Gannon has parted ways with the American outfit to join Aston Martin, marking another high-profile shift in Formula 1’s engineering landscape. Known for his crucial roles alongside drivers like Nico Hulkenberg, Mick Schumacher, and Romain Grosjean, Gannon’s wealth of experience makes his arrival a significant boost for the ambitious Aston Martin squad.


A new chapter for a seasoned engineer

Gannon, who had been with Haas since their 2016 F1 debut, played a pivotal role in the team’s formative years. His expertise spanned working with key drivers, from guiding Grosjean during Haas’s early days to engineering Schumacher and later reuniting with Hulkenberg in 2023. Before Haas, Gannon honed his skills with Marussia from 2011 to 2013 and gained a decade of experience as a Honda development engineer in CART and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).

With Honda poised to become Aston Martin’s works engine provider in 2026, Gannon’s U.S.-based Honda experience could prove invaluable for the British team’s preparation for the new era of regulations.


What’s next for Gannon at Aston Martin?

While Aston Martin has not yet disclosed Gannon’s specific role, it is unclear whether he will work with Lance Stroll or Fernando Alonso. Stroll has been paired with race engineer Ben Michell since 2021, while Alonso works with Chris Cronin, who succeeded Sebastian Vettel’s former engineer.

Gannon’s arrival coincides with a period of transformation at Aston Martin. Under new CEO Andy Cowell—formerly of Mercedes’ dominant power unit division—the team has implemented sweeping organizational changes aimed at strengthening both its trackside and factory operations.


Aston Martin’s organizational shake-up

Gannon joins Aston Martin during a pivotal restructuring phase:

  • Andy Cowell has taken over as CEO and assumed Team Principal duties, with Mike Krack stepping into the newly created Chief Trackside Officer role.
  • Enrico Cardile, Aston Martin’s new Chief Technical Officer, now heads the factory-based development team at Silverstone.
  • Tom McCullough, the former Performance Director, shifts focus to Aston Martin’s growing efforts in other motorsport categories, including their FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA programmes.

These changes aim to ensure Aston Martin can compete not only in F1 but across various motorsport disciplines. The team is also gearing up for the 2025 debut of the Valkyrie Hypercar in FIA WEC and IMSA, signaling a broader motorsport strategy.


Aston Martin’s 2025 ambitions

After an impressive resurgence in recent seasons, Aston Martin continues to make bold moves to establish itself as a top-tier F1 team. The arrival of Adrian Newey, their state-of-the-art factory, and the Honda partnership signal their intent to disrupt the status quo.

Gannon’s proven ability to manage drivers and deliver results under pressure aligns perfectly with Aston Martin’s high-stakes aspirations. With Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso leading the charge, Aston Martin aims to build on its success and push for consistent podiums in 2025.
