Marco Mattiacci is best known for his brief 8-month tenure as Ferrari team principal in 2014, which resulted in Fernando Alonso’s departure from the team. It now seems that the 50-year-old Italian could be en route to Aston Martin in an advisory capacity. Mattiacci was reassigned to the role of Ferrari’s F1 chief after current F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali stepped down from the role.

After Ferrari Mattiacci joined the unfortunate EV project of LeEco founder Faraday Future. Mattiacci was best known for his role as President and CEO of Ferrari in North America, where he boosted sales of the iconic Italian marquee.

Mattiacci has experience in UK automotive companies such as Jaguar, which he joined at the age of 19 and which he worked in the marketing department for a decade.
