Aston Martin’s Technical Director: Failure is Not an Option for the 2026 Season

The Chief Technical Officer of Aston Martin, **Enrico Cardile**, shared his thoughts on the team’s outlook for 2026.

«As we work on the car for 2026, the team will accomplish the goals we’ve set. I’m not sure how competitive we’ll be — whether we’ll be first, second, or seventh — but we’re confident that everything will be just fine. We have all the resources needed to tackle the challenges ahead and fulfill our responsibilities. Failure is not an option.

We are eagerly anticipating the start of the season, and it’s not just about the new car. Of course, I’m excited to see the cars from the other ten teams on the track and assess our standing. We’re uncertain about where we will fit in the competitive hierarchy. Regardless, we cannot be satisfied with the results from our wind tunnel simulations or our efforts to reduce the car’s weight, as we lack benchmarks to gauge our performance against,» Cardile’s comments were reported by FormulaPassion.
