Overview

• A binding letter of intent has been signed for the sale of a 4.6% minority stake in the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team for $146 million, subject to final approvals.
• The transaction sets the team’s enterprise value at about £2.4 billion ($3.3 billion), reflecting heightened investor interest fueled by Formula 1’s global media-driven popularity surge.
• Majority control remains with Lawrence Stroll’s Yew Tree Consortium, as Aston Martin Lagonda has historically held only a small share of the racing operation.
• Long-term licensing and branding agreements will keep the squad racing under the Aston Martin name despite the change in its minority ownership structure.
• The team’s on-track results have declined through 2024 into 2025, leaving it near the bottom of the Constructors’ standings ahead of a regulatory reset in 2026.
