Overview
- McLaren Group confirmed that Bahrain’s Mumtalakat and Abu Dhabi’s CYVN acquired all shares held by MSP Sports Capital, O’Connor-managed funds, Ares Sports, Media & Entertainment funds, and Caspian Funds.
- Mumtalakat remains the majority shareholder while CYVN holds a non‑controlling stake, with financial terms undisclosed.
- Media reports put the deal’s implied valuation above £3 billion (about $4 billion), while Sportico reported a $5 billion figure citing a person familiar with the details.
- MSP leaders Jeff Moorad and Jahm Najafi will leave the McLaren Racing board as governance is streamlined.
- The exit caps a sharp revaluation from a roughly £560 million mark in 2020, a period when outside capital helped stabilize the team during restructuring and preceded its competitive resurgence.
