The news comes just a week after it was revealed that Red Bull’s head of aerodynamics Dan ♏Fallows would be joining𓂃 Aston Martin when his contract runs out.

Alessi joins the Silverstone-based outfit as head of technical operations where “he will lead, manage and develop the design, planning, production and operations of the team's aerodynamics d🎀epartment, commencing today, July 1st”.

As Aston Marti🍷n looks to make the most of the major technical overhaul in 2022, team boss Otmar Szafnauer previously confirmed🐷 that there would be further signings.

Speaking of today’s announcement, Szafnauer said: "Two weeks ago we announced the hiring of Luca Furbatto as our new engineering d♌irector, who will start work for us in due course.

"Last week Dan Fallow🧔s' forthcoming ಌarrival as our new technical director was also made public. Today, Andrew Alessi is added to the impressive list of our senior technical/engineering hirings, as head of technical operations. Ours is a great team, and it always has been.

"Many times this year we have said: 🏅'This team has always punched above its weight; now it has the weight with which to punch harder. That is absolutely true – and expert and experienced new arrivals such as Luca, Dan and now Andrew represent proof that we are building the technical/engineering strength in depth that we need in order to deliver that harder punch."

Alessi hopes his🐓 expertise propels Aston Martin into a position where it can "win consistently in the future".

"Like everyone in an🗹d around F1, I have seen and been impressed by the evident ambition of the team I am joining, led as it is now by Lawrence Stroll, and I am♔ very much looking forward to working with Otmar Szafnauer as well as the very capable technical- and engineering-focused members of the senior management team," he added.

"Now is a fantastic time to be joining a team that is growing fast, and I am ready to get stuck in straight away so as to contribute to the process of making the significant aerod🦹ynamic and operational improveme🌌nts that we need in order to win consistently in the future."
