Aston Martin are set to say goodbye to one of their most experienced engineers, with Tom McCullough preparing to leave the Silverstone-based outfit at the conclusion of the season.
Key Highlights
- Decade-Long Contribution: Tom McCullough has spent more than 10 years with the team across its Force India, Racing Point, and Aston Martin eras.
- Leadership Transition: McCullough moved away from the F1 programme in 2025, with his trackside responsibilities taken over by Mike Krack.
- Successful F1 Journey: He played a role during periods that included Force India's back-to-back P4 finishes and Racing Point's maiden victory in 2020.
- Aston Martin's New Era: The team continues its development push under Adrian Newey while introducing further upgrades for the 2026 season.
Aston Martin Loses Another Experienced Figure
According to F1.com, McCullough's departure will end a long association with the team that stretches across multiple identities, including Force India, Racing Point, and Aston Martin. Throughout his time with the organisation, he held several important roles, including responsibilities focused on trackside performance and engineering operations.
From Trackside Performance to Senior Leadership Role
At the start of 2025, McCullough was moved away from the Formula 1 project as part of a wider senior leadership restructure. He took on a position within another area of the business, focusing on "the expansion of the team's broader range of racing categories."
Following the restructure, his former duties were transferred to Mike Krack, who stepped into the role of Chief Trackside Officer. The latest development confirms that McCullough will officially leave Aston Martin at the end of the current season, with the team currently sitting 10th in the Teams' Championship.
