Aston Martin To Sell Formula One Stake Over Financial Struggles

Aston Martin Lagonda announced on Monday its intention to sell its minority stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team as part of efforts to stabilise its struggling core business.

Simultaneously, the company's largest shareholder, the Yew Tree Consortium, plans to increase its stake in the firm to 33 per cent, according to a statement released on Monday, March 31, 2025.

The move, led by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll-whose son, Lance Stroll, drives for the F1 team-is expected to boost Aston Martin's liquidity by more than 125 million 162 million.

Despite the sale, Aston Martin reassured that its long-term Formula One sponsorship agreement would remain unchanged.

CEO Adrian Hallmark said the fresh investment would accelerate our progress into being a sustainably profitable company.
