Formula 1 sees leadership change as Andy Cowell joins Aston Martin as team principal

Formula 1 team principals are the leaders of the ten teams in the sport. They serve as the public face of their teams, managing performance, public relations, and team structure. Unlike in the past, most are hired employees rather than owners. The current group of team principals is predominantly white, male, and often German-speaking. They come from various backgrounds, including engineering, racing, and business. Notable figures include Toto Wolff of Mercedes and Christian Horner of Red Bull Racing. Recently, Andy Cowell took over as team principal of Aston Martin, replacing Mike Krack. Cowell has extensive experience in motorsport, having previously worked with Mercedes. This change reflects ongoing shifts in team leadership within Formula 1.
