Just a week after Aston Martin revealed the signing of Red Bull’s Dan Fallows, they have now announced that the Silverstone-based team will seize another senior staff member away from Red Bull, with the signing of Andrew Alessi.

The two engineers were crucial for the Milton Keynes-based team’s aerodynamics department. Dan Fallows and Andrew Alessi have worked for 15 and 13 years respectively for Red Bull.

Meanwhile, the former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel refuses any involvement in Aston Martin luring the services of Red Bull’s engineers.
