Summary

Aston Martin's reshuffle at the top of the team is the focus of the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Samarth Kanal joins Edd Straw to explain why Andy Cowell has taken over as team principal and what it means for the team's way of working. 

We discuss the new roles of Mike Krack (who previously held the role) and Tom McCullough, as well as the wider changes being made to allow Aston Martin to live up to its potential. 

And with Adrian Newey arriving in March, Honda engines powering the car next year as well as Enrico Cardile coming in as chief technical officer, we discuss whether the latest round of changes will allow the team to fulfil its prodigious potential.
