Over the past four days, Aston Martin<\/a> has had two major investors buy into voting shares of the company.<\/p>\n

In January of this year, Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, at the head of a group of other investors, purchased approximately 16 to 20 percent of controlling shares in the financially struggling company. The purchase was valued at approximately $660 million.<\/p>\n

As part of that deal, Formula 1 team Racing Point, owned by Stroll and with his son Lance as one of the drivers, will be known as Aston Martin Formula 1 once the 2021 season begins. Aston Martin currently is a sub-title sponsor for Red Bull Racing, a deal which will conclude at the end of the 2020 F1 season.<\/p>\n

However, over the weekend, as reported on CarBuzz<\/a>, Swiss investor Ernesto Bertarelli acquired a 3.4 percent voting stake in Aston Martin. Bertarelli is known for commercial real estate assets across Europe, as well as having a tech-focused venture capital and angel investment fund.<\/p>\n

And as reported by AutoBlog<\/a> the very next day, Mercedes Formula 1 Team Principle Toto Wolff, himself a multimillionaire from previous ownership of investment firms, purchased a 4.77 percent voting stake. However, after some rights issues are cleared, Wolff’s stake will be equal to about 0.95 percent. Wolff also owns a flat 30 percent of Petronas Mercedes Formula 1, which is why he serves as Team Principle.<\/p>\n

These two purchases allow for Aston Martin to have a secure car manufacturing side, shoring up projects such as the next DB model, the Valkyrie<\/a>, and the Valhalla<\/a>. It also allows for the Formula 1 team plans to have a lot more credibility.<\/p>\n

As well, the Wolff buy-in has set the rumor mill abuzz that Aston Martin F1 could become the Mercedes junior team, much like how Scuderia AlphaTauri is the junior\/development team for Red Bull Racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
