Fallows will remain a Red Bull employee until April 2, when he will be released from his contract early to join Aston Martin.
Aston Martin’s signing from Fallows was announced last June but Red Bull made it clear at the time that he would not be leaving Milton Keynes before the end of his 2023 contract.
Earlier this month it was reported that Red Bull had taken Fallows to court to prevent him from joining Aston Martin.
However, an agreement has now been reached allowing Fallows to team up with Aston Martin for the upcoming 2022 season.

Aston Martin Group CEO Martin Whitmarsh said: “We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Red Bull that will see Dan released from his contract early and we look forward to him joining the team.”
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner added: “We thank Dan for his years of excellent service and wish him all the best for the future.”
Fallows joined Red Bull in 2006 and was promoted to head of aerodynamics in 2014 after making a U-turn to remain with the team rather than join rival McLaren.

“I’ve had many happy years with Red Bull Racing and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved,” said Fallows. “I’m looking forward to next season and a new challenge.”
Fallows will be joined at Aston Martin by new technical director Luca Furbatto, coming from Alfa Romeo, as part of a restructuring of the Silverstone-based team’s technical department.
Current Technical Director Andrew Green will move into a new role of Chief Technical Officer while Tom McCullough will remain responsible for track engineering and performance after being awarded the new title of Performance Director.
