Aston Martin announces exit of F1 principal Szafnauer

The Hindu  

Otmar Szafnauer has left the Aston Martin Formula One team, where he was chief executive officer and principal but recently fended off speculation he could be heading to Renault-owned rivals Alpine. Silverstone-based Aston Martin, owned by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, said in a statement that a leadership team would take over until a replacement was appointed. "We would like to thank him for the service provided to the team over the past 12 years and wish him well for the future as he will undoubtedly take on new challenges," Mercedes-powered Aston Martin said. Aston Martin last year brought in former McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh as group chief executive, a position above Szafnauer.
