Overview
- Aston Martin Lagonda has agreed to sell its 4.6% stake in the Aston Martin Aramco F1 team for $146 million under a binding letter of intent, with the buyer’s identity kept confidential.
- The transaction values the F1 squad at approximately $3.3 billion, up from $2.4 billion in 2024 following earlier funding rounds.
- Majority ownership of the racing outfit remains with Lawrence Stroll’s Yew Tree Consortium, while Aston Martin Lagonda holds only a minority share.
- Earlier investments by HPS Investment Partners, Accel Partners and Arctos Partners drove the team’s valuation growth across successive funding rounds.
- Proceeds from the minority stake sale will boost Aston Martin Lagonda’s liquidity and help address its wider corporate financial needs.
