Aston Martin: New F1 investment doesn’t signal Lawrence Stroll exit
Amerikai angolul:
“The Silverstone outfit, Aston Martin, has sold a stake to private equity company Arctos, which has investments in various sports franchises, including MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS teams, as well as European football teams like Liverpool FC. While some speculate that this move indicates Lawrence Stroll’s exit from the team, it is actually seen as a strategic partnership to bring in fresh knowledge and contacts, similar to Alpine’s recent arrangement with US investors. According to Alan Slack, Aston Martin’s Chief Commercial Officer, Lawrence Stroll is fully committed to the team and his other venture, Aston Martin Lagonda. The partnership with Arctos signifies their role as a marketing platform for Aston Martin Lagonda, and it’s worth noting that Lawrence Stroll is a wealthy individual and capital is not an issue. Furthermore, the nature of Arctos’ investments suggests that they will not be seeking to gain control of the team, making them an ideal partner. This partnership allows Aston Martin to learn from other successful franchises and improve various aspects of their business, which is beneficial for the entire sport, as it shows increasing value and interest from US investors in Formula 1.”
