In an unchanged driver lineup, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will be joined by Lance Stroll, while new leadership will take over after Otmar Szafnauer leaves his position as team principal.

In terms of a new team principal, Aston Martin stated recently that Szafnauer’s former position “will be managed within the leadership team until a replacement is appointed.”

Szafnauer took over as team boss in 2018 after the Silverstone-based outfit was taken over by a consortium led by Stroll, who had previously worked for Force India.

The team’s statement did not give a reason for the 57-year-departure, old’s but it comes only a day after the publication of an interview in which he discussed his plans for the future.
