Enrico Cardile is leaving his role as Ferrari\u2019s chassis technical director, the Italian team have announced.<\/b><\/p>\n
A Ferrari statement said the move came as a result of Cardile “leaving the company”.<\/p>\n
BBC Sport reported last week that Cardile has signed to join Aston Martin,<\/a> where he is expected to become chief technical officer.<\/p>\n Ferrari said team principal Frederic Vasseur would take charge of the chassis design office “with immediate effect, and as an interim measure”.<\/p>\n Cardile’s switch to Aston Martin, which is yet to be confirmed, is part of a major recruitment drive by the British-based team as it seeks to become a regular frontrunner.<\/p>\n Last week, they announced the signing of former Mercedes engine chief Andy Cowell<\/a> as chief executive officer, starting work in October, and in 2026 they become Honda’s factory engine partner.<\/p>\n Honda currently partner world champions Red Bull.<\/p>\n Cardile’s departure coincides with – but is not related to – a difficult run of form for Ferrari, who at the British Grand Prix last weekend removed an upgrade from their cars that had been introduced two races previously in Spain.<\/p>\n Ferrari started the 2024 season as Red Bull’s closest challengers but have slipped behind McLaren and Mercedes in recent races.<\/p>\n Lewis Hamilton will join the team<\/a> from Mercedes at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
