Aston Martin’s F1 future secured, says Stroll after stake sale announcement

Aston Martin's storied presence in Formula 1 is set to continue for many decades, assured billionaire team owner Lawrence Stroll, following the announcement of the sale of its stake in the Silverstone-based team. On Monday, Aston Martin AML.L revealed plans to raise over £125 million ($161.9 million) through funding from Stroll, who holds the chairman position, alongside the sale of its share in the Formula 1 team.

"These moves demonstrate that Aston Martin's place on the Formula 1 grid is as secure as ever," Stroll stated, reaffirming the brand's steadfast commitment to the sport.

Additionally, Aston Martin recently reaffirmed its dedication through a renewed long-term sponsorship and licensing agreement with AMF1. This ensures that the legendary British brand, known for its iconic racing green colors, will remain a vibrant competitor in Formula 1 for many years ahead.

The team, whose title sponsor is Saudi energy titan Aramco, entrusted investment bank Raine Group with the task of finding a strategic buyer for Aston Martin's F1 stake. "Raine will work closely with AMF1's commercial chief Jeff Slack to secure a strategic investor who can add long-term value to the team and the brand," according to an official statement.

Through this initiative, it’s clear that Aston Martin is strategically positioning itself for sustained excellence in Formula 1, attracting investments and partnerships that promise to enhance both the team and the brand on the global stage.
