Research notes
Enrico Cardile (born 1975 in Arezzo) earned a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Pisa (2002), with a thesis based around Ferrari's wind tunnel, and continued collaborating with Ferrari on research for about three years after graduating. He formally joined Ferrari in 2005, initially responsible for GT car aerodynamics, before moving to the F1 team in 2016 as Head of Aerodynamic Development, then rising through the ranks to Car Project Manager and Head of Chassis Area, becoming Chassis Technical Director in 2023 and working on cars ranging from the SF70H to the SF-24. He resigned in July 2024, and after a non-compete/legal dispute with Ferrari and a full year of gardening leave, joined Aston Martin as Chief Technical Officer on 4 August 2025, working alongside Adrian Newey to prepare for the new 2026 regulations.
