Racing Bulls appoint new technical director

Racing Bulls has appointed Dan Fallows as its new technical director.

After 16 years with Red Bull, rising to the position of head of aerodynamics, Fallows eventually joined Aston Martin in April 2022 as its new technical director.

Despite a strong start to the 2023 season, with Fernando Alonso scoring six podiums in the first eight grands prix, Aston Martin's results and performances tailed off, leading to him stepping down from his role in November 2024, but remaining within the Group in an unspecified role.

At Racing Bulls, Fallows will report into chief technical officer, Tim Goss, taking responsibility for the overall technical direction of the team, working across design, aerodynamics and performance.

Fallows, who will start with the team in April, said: "I’m very pleased to be joining VCARB at an exciting time for the team.

"There is a clear vision and strong technical ambition, and I’m looking forward to working closely with Tim and the wider engineering group to help drive performance and continue building the team for the future."

Hailing Fallows' "wealth of experience", team principal Alan Permane added: "His technical understanding and leadership will be a real asset to the team as we continue to develop and push forward competitively. We’re delighted to welcome him to VCARB."
