Lawrence Stroll, an investor in the Aston Martin F1 Team, is reportedly engaged in initial discussions regarding the potential sale of a minority stake in the team. Recent reports suggest that Stroll is looking to capitalize on the sport’s significant growth by selling up to 25% of the business. Bloomberg has reported that the Canadian billionaire is open to the idea of selling a quarter stake in the team. However, it is important to note that Stroll’s ownership of the team is separate from his controlling stake in the Aston Martin Lagonda luxury road car division. Stroll’s aim is to enhance the team’s valuation, which currently stands at $1 billion, following the sale of a minority stake to US private equity firm Arctos Partners in November. A spokesperson for the team confirmed that they have been contacted by interested parties, particularly after the Arctos Partners investment. While interest in the existing F1 teams on the grid is increasing, Aston Martin Lagonda’s stock continues to decline. The luxury car brand has experienced a 33% decrease in its stock value since the beginning of the year and is currently 80% lower than when Stroll assumed control as executive chairman. Fernando Alonso, a two-time F1 champion, recently announced that he has signed a multi-term renewal with Aston Martin, ensuring his presence during the next rules reset. Aston Martin, currently ranked fifth in the Constructors’ Championship, is set to partner with Honda in 2026, aiming to become a title contender.
