Leo Turrini on what’s behind Aston Martin’s interest for Enrico Cardile, with Binotto and Newey in background. Leo Turrini reports on Aston Martin's interest for Enrico Cardile from Ferrari.

The 2024 Formula season continues and the track action offers multiple points of interest, but what takes center stage in the Formula 1 paddock is in fact the engineer market topic with various rapidly evolving scenarios. In the last few hours, for example, the rumor of Enrico Cardile’s possible departure from Ferrari has begun to circulate insistently.

According to what has been reported by Italian journalists Roberto Chinchero and Leo Turrini, the Head of Ferrari’s Aerodynamics Department would have ended up in Aston Martin’s sights and could move to Silverstone by accepting the rich offer sent to him by Lawrence Stroll. But Enrico Cardile would not be the only profile linked to the Maranello team to have been contacted by the Canadian tycoon. Leo Turrini himself focused on the topic in one of the articles published through his blog “Profondo Rosso” on the quotidiano.net website.

“So, this is how things are. Stroll senior is trying to snatch Enrico Cardile from Ferrari. The owner of Aston Martin has made an offer to the technical director of the Ferrari. Everyone in the environment and in Maranello knows it. Enrico Cardile, who is an excellent engineer, is examining the hypothesis”, begins Leo Turrini in his article on quotidiano.net.

The well-known face from Sky then goes on to underline that the current technical director of the Prancing Horse would find several friends at Aston Martin. “Roberto Fedeli, long-time Ferrari product manager, was his mentor when Enrico worked on production cars. Now Fedeli designs splendid cars for Aston Martin. And one of Stroll’s father’s consultants is Amedeo Felisa, former managing director of Ferrari with Montezemolo. I add that Mattiacci (do you remember?) and the brave Bisignani, who worked in communications at Maranello about ten years ago, also work there”, Leo Turrini pointed out.

Finally, the Italian journalist concludes his analysis by confirming two other market rumors that have often been talked about in recent times: “In F1 Stroll is very convinced of winning the world championship after 2026, when he will have the great Honda engine. Incidentally, the father of Lance will also soon change the team principal and it is true that he has contacted another ex-Ferrari person for the role (he, Mattia Binotto, who incidentally never had any problems with Enrico Cardile. Finally, the ghost of Adrian Newey hovers in the background and it is clearly very tempting even for him to go to Aston Martin”.
