What next for the wannabe F1 giant that's been part-sold
Спорт
If a wannabe Formula 1 giant is on the right track, would it be part-sold and should it be championing a season that ended considerably less competitive than it started as one with ‘no negatives at all’?
It’s what you might be asking about Aston Martin, which towards the end of 2023 made a significant announcement: outside investors were coming in for the first time since Lawrence Stroll’s consortium bought the assets of Force India in 2018.
The news followed quite intense speculation about Stroll’s intentions for the team, and came at the back of a season in which Aston Martin had genuinely been F1’s most improved team - but had also been on a worrying decline.
There had been unsubstantiated rumours for a while that, five years on from creating what would morph into what we now know as Aston Martin, Stroll was looking for a way out.
That also coincided with questions about his son Lance’s future after a rough run through the middle of the season.
But the message from Aston Martin is clear: Lawrence is going nowhere, Aston Martin the brand is going nowhere, and this team is dead serious about its intentions.

AM had a consistent delta to RB all season. The only thing that happened is that Merc and Ferrari were nowhere at the start then closed the gap to RB. And McLaren happened. How can people forget that starting in the midfield Max overtook Alonso who took P1 at the start on lap 13 in Saudi?

I agree. Their improvement is kind of shocking. Sure they ended up 5th in the championship but in a season where 2-5 was so close that is damn impressive. Not to mention that is with the worst lineup of the 4. Imagine if they could get someone like Sainz, Hulkenberg, Albon or even one of the Alpine drivers.

My thoughts are Stroll is hedging his bets, he may have the intention to carry on in F1 but pragmatism is definitely a strength.
What I seen in the season is that Aston started the season with an illegal car because the front wing flaps was to flexible. Maybe other parts also we don't know much about it because it was a secret move by FIA. Aston was force to change the front wing concept so they did lose the corner speed and car balance but first if all the amazing tyre handle and management. After came the new tyres and they totally was lost except when the temperature was cold like Zandvoort so is confirm Alonso very small working window report. What happened After this is what really counts,because they had to adjust the sidepods, floor,rear wing literally the whole car to the new front wing. They made a lot of test and we seen amazing improvements at end of the season and even Stroll was fast and confident again. Honestly I except Aston start strong the season with all those test,data and the smaller gearbox also will be a huge improvement not just in weight,but better floor.
I remember when RB were investing heavily in the team and a lot of people just wrote them off as upstarts. Aston Martin are in that same position now, it will be interesting to see where they are in a few years?

Get me Felipe. Lance can do Indy or WRC.
For me the biggest disappointment was Monaco, where a more aggressive strategy would probably have won them the race. Otherwise this was the team's second strongest season going right back to the Jordan days, behind only the '99 season when they won 2 races and were title contenders until impressively late in the season. The drop-off in performance toward the end was worrying, but I read it as AM having got their car so fundamentally right to begin with that there were only small incremental gains to be made whereas Mercades and McLaren made much bigger strides because their cars were very poor earlier in the season so there was more scope for improvement.
Realistically he has to drop his son to really see any real returns on his investments, money wise. If he’s cool with dumping money into the team without winning but his happy that his son is living his dream, then he’s getting the returns he wants. Lance is an F1 driver, yes. A title winning F1 driver, no.

Selling the team is the only way Papa Stroll is getting rid of his son. He knows he's backed into a corner in creating a winning team.
The new Aston Martin Technology centre (a la McLaren) is of course going to take a lot of capital but when it’s fully up and running, (and also with its own wind tunnel that can be hired out to other car developers 24/7/365 when they’re not using it) then I think some very serious F1 names will want a slice of that cake..
With Aston not only wanting to be a force in F1 but now spinning up a works hypercar program as well I think Lawrence needed some money from somewhere. The money from the sale is probably earmarked to get the hypercar program started and then getting Aramco to pay for at least some of the F1 teams budget makes sense if Lawrence is in it for the long term. Not only in F1 but for owning Aston Martin cars and the Hypercar program.

@user-gd2lt7me1s 26% is still a significant voting share. He doesn't have to own the entire company to basically be in charge of it, he just has to own more than everyone else. I think you're also forgetting that he pulled the entire company out of bankruptcy. If he were to leave the company in haste it would still most likely collapse. In fact, the reason the company is now profitable is largely down to strolls leadership decisions (which he wouldn't have been able to make if he didn't have a voting majority).
Lawrence Stroll is a multi billionaire and is crazy about auto racing. I mean for 20 odd years this guy owned a FIA grade 3 circuit in Montreal, which he had repaved, widened, extended the pit lane, widened the run-offs and did facility improvements on. And he only sold the track to fund his F1 team. Unless he is experiencing extreme financial hardship, I doubt he will be selling AMR anytime soon.
This is just a great business move by a very successful businessman. This happens all the time.
strange piece jumping from one peculation to the other, from stroll's exit strategy then stroll not exiting at all. it was very early in stroll ownership that he also announced they needed more investments

Realistically, the thing that matters most is the car. Checo had the worst season of his career and still finished P2 in the standings. Stroll is capable of winning a championship if there was a worse driver next to him, and they built a RB19 level dominant car. Aston Martin aren't going to be fighting for championships, or even race wins in 2024 or 2025, 2026 is their next chance to nail regulations, so until then it really doesn't matter who's driving, as long as the engineering team is good, working hard on the 2026 concept and has the infrastructure to see it through.
No amount of investment or wind tunnel will make Lance Stroll a world champion driver. The engineering has to be better. That achievement will have to be done by another driver in a much improved car. PS I would love to have Lance’s skill as a driver and nerves of steel to hurl a car around a race circuit with blind corners. I just can’t help but wonder if he would have seat at the table if not for his Dad’s money. He couldn’t keep pace with Alonso and that speaks volumes.

2024 is a big year for them to take another step. I hope they can manage it, we need more top teams
Aston Martin seems to need a lot time developing the 23 car . as they started quite early in 22 they had the time to do that but in season that doesn't work.
Makes complete smart investment sense. Aston is most likely at a high, that's the best time to recoup some of his investment
i believe that when AM brought their car to the track for testing they were still building the AM23 and adding what they may have thought was an advanced car that should have taken them well into the season, perhaps even close to the mid summer break. i dont think they were prepared for other teams to advance as quickly as they did and AM just werent prepared for it. maybe look at it like the brawn gp car of 09, when they brought just about all they had and just hoped no other team could catch up with them. brawn were very lucky that they got as far ahead as they did, perhaps partly because the other teams were complaining too much about the double diffuser instead of just designing one for their cars. anyway, its possible that AM thought their car was better than it actually was their upgrade packages were too far away for them to do anything much about it. its also telling that they are keeping lance even though if they want to get higher up the grid they need 2 strong drivers instead of one doing most of the heavy lifting, allowing the other to coast just because their daddy is the face of the team! its like verstappen being almost 300 points ahead of perez as opposed to lewis hamilton being only 59 points ahead of george russell. fernando had well over 100 points more than his much slower team mate. so a stronger second seat is a must if AM is to advance up the order.
*me looking at the title of the video*: Oh Lord have some mercy
I wonder how much further along they'd be with two world class drivers giving feedback and not nepo boy
Acting like you will never sell is the best way to increase offers.
1:51 - he's 150% headed for the door.

I'm okay with static images, but can we get rid of the f1 game footage? It's ugly 😢
The team wants second? Get rid of Lance. Plus, if you call yourself a works team... you need to make your own engines...
While I think most people want to look at the short term and say that 2023 was a failure given the in-season failure with the development and AM not being able to hold onto the top 3 position in Constructors I would say that overall it's been the exact opposite as most people wrote this team off at the start of the season. With Lawrence we're finally seeing the team effectively use its money and build that permanent state of the art HQ. The real question plaguing Aston Martin is whether they'll get the development right this time.

Even with their lack of decent development the car was still good enough that if they had a decent second driver they would likely have been competing with Ferrari and Mercedes for 2nd.
The biggest issue that AM has is Lanse, Everything else pails in comparison.
I take ALL of Scott's reporting with huge grain of salt.
Anyone can get into F1 with enough money. Stroll & Aston Martin is the current prime example. Aston would be a better team if they had someone with just as much money and a driver who wasn't there only because his dad is the money man.
Meh... rumors
Did I miss any information about AM branching out to sportscars and Lance being sidetracked in that direction? A new investor may also want a better driver alongside Alonso.
Fire Lancelot?
Never even considered Aston selling because I feel like honestly their brand has seen the biggest bump through their involvement in F1, like Merc Ferrari Honda are all established brands but Aston’s stock was on the decline for a while before they joined F1 and got their name back out there
would you have called RedBull a wannabe F1 Giant too in 2007 or 2008 ?
F1 game footage goes hard
Most likely in sometime we might have the same situation like in football. Big boys or funds buying teams...
What if Honda buys Aston and brands the team as Mugen Racing Honda? With one merch item being toilet seat covers that say - The Power of Dreams
The car was fundamentally good but perhaps the car after the Canadian Grand Prix just wasn't working as well as Mercedes, McLaren or Ferrari. They managed to fix it for Brazil and Vegas and the car was back in the top 5 with not just Alonso but also Lance Stroll. I hope they've got a good design, engineering, vehicle dynamics and chassis team that knows what doesn't work so that the AMR24 is also a car that just works well like the AMR23 but with more aero load at all speed ranges.
Lawrence knows what a flake Lance is, this is his exit strategy.
all your videos are all talk and no substance
Outside investment is just smart business, daddy Stroll was probably willing to foot the capital to get the team rolling with the intent to bring in outside investment later. Given their success early in 23, it was perfectly timed. It’s only too bad there isn’t an exit strategy for the younger Stroll. I suspect his dad will be around in F1 much longer than Lance will.
Strulovic sold as much as he could on promise. Upcoming hurdle may be to find a driver (WDC#1) to outdrive the car if Alonso retires - say if he's sick of competing in the low end of the midfield.
placing behind McLaren is an strategic advantge because they have more alloted windtunnel time. Coincentently timed with their own state of the art windtunnel at their own facitity.
1:50 "I'm not leaving" - Jordan Belfort (kidding Daddy Lawrence is not a very shady businessman).
if they want to be competitive they should replace lance with a decent driver. if he did not as good as Alonso but at least some top 5, AM would have secured 2nd in the constructor championship
Mike crack never gets old
Maybe Mr. Strulovitch being the successful businessman that he is just sold enough to get his initial investment back. The team's value is now nearly 10x what he initially put in. Wouldn't that just mean he's in it free and clear?

Observation: Being the benchmark, matching car setup with track characteristics is what RBR seems to get right most of the time. Speculation: If dad is serious with winning championships, will he get another driver to replace his son?
I think the whole thing around the sale of shares is just some media going all obvious sensationalism. Nothing all that strange about selling a minor stake. Aston have been in the sport for 4 years now, Stroll made it very clear that he is serious about this so why would he decide to step aside now? This is obviously a long term thing for him and Aston. And as if that is not enough, they just had a great season with huge improvement and a huge capital investment. Acting like this had anything to do with Stroll or Aston stepping aside is pretty dumb. The Stroll that should step aside is the one in the driver's seat, not the boardroom one.
Aston Martin have realised that front loading your development will give you over the whole season better average results.
Daddy Stroll needs to come to the realization that his son is not good enough.
If Stroll wanted to get out now, he’d have sold to Andretti.
It is very simple - Lawrence is in the business of selling cars, and the biggest market for the type of cars that he sells is the Middle East. AM waining in the second half of the year is probably down to the move to the new facilities. I expect that they will also struggle in 2024 as they are getting the new tunnel in and understanding the difference between old and new. It will probably be 25/26 before the benefits are reaped.
I remember when you told the news , now you make things up and hope that'll do.
What happened to all Lance's lower formula team's when the Stroll's left. 🤔
The big question is, when is he going to axe his own son and if so, will he continue to be as committed as he is now?
Arctos Partners LP, a sports team focused private equity fund, has acquired minority stake in a number of USA’s top professional sports team…Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and Boston Red Sox…69% growth in past year to $6.6B. Suggests they see major growth in the American market for F1? Very much like Ryan Reynolds and his group acquiring 20% in Alpine F1 this year.
To Lawrence, Lance is just a business asset. That part of his investment isn't going to plan, so he's spreading his bets whilst still investing in Aston as a team.
If you give up development early than you can immediately focus on next year. If you're serious about being a champ and have $ then you would immediately shift to next year if you don't honestly see yourself being in real contention for this year. It's actually smart. If your not 1st your last.
This seems like another click bait video, to unleash strolls bashers.
Only bad thing about Aston is lance stroll, but since he is the son of the owner, he might not get replaced by a better driver
