Red Bull is handing over their Head of Aerodynamics to Aston Martin. Dan Fallows will take on the role of Technical Director with the Silverstone-based team. This would mean that Fallows will be reunited with a Red Bull champion, Sebastian Vettel.
Fallows will make his way to Aston Martin as chief engineer in April. He will be working alongside Vettel as his director in the team. It was announced in June that Fallows will be making a move to his new team; however, it was expected to be dragged out because his contract was extended till 2023.

Christian Horner chimed in as well. “We would like to thank Dan for his many years of excellent service and wish him well for the future.”
