Aston Martin Wants to Sell Its Chunk of Aston Martin F1

Aston Martin has an unusual relationship with its namesake Formula 1 team. Billionaire Lawrence Stroll is the chairperson and part-owner of the Aston Martin car company; he's also the majority owner of the Aston Martin F1 squad. The automaker, in turn, sponsors and owns a chunk of the team as a synergy between Stroll's two business operations — but the nature of this official ownership tie-up is about to change. As of Tuesday, the car company has announced plans to sell the stake in its namesake for around $95 million, according to Racer and other media outlets. Along with a new investment from Stroll that raises his stake in the automaker from just under 28% to 33%, the company expects to raise around $160 million in new equity. A buyer for the newly-available chunk of the F1 team has not been named. Aston Martin has also not disclosed just how much of the team that $95 million stake represents, although the size of the number suggests it is likely somewhere between 5 and 20%. Aston Martin would remain the title sponsor of the team, however as part of a long-term commitment after the deal goes — although its already-tenuous relationship with the Aston Martin F1 team will now be even more unusual. By contrast, Audi chose to buy all of Sauber when it acquired the team to build its own factory F1 effort. The restructure may look unusual from the outside, but the end result is that Canadian business magnate Stroll will still ultimately be in control of both organizations called Aston Martin. On a separate note, Aston Martin Formula 1 still employs a Canadian driver named Lance Stroll, and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future.

Formula E confirms more Evo Sessions celebrities

Formula E has announced the next batch of famous faces that will take part in its Evo Sessions program. Evo Sessions will take place between the Jeddah and Miami E-Prix, with those taking part being assigned to a Formula E team, then undergoing a six-week training program before a two-day track event at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on March 5-6. Joining the line-up is actor Tom Felton, best-known for playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, Australian automotive influencer 'Supercar Blondie,' Mexican content creator JUCA, and motorsport content creator and professional driver Scott Mansell, otherwise known as Driver 61. 'I've grown up loving wheels my entire life,' said Felton. 'From my dad teaching me to ride a bicycle to putting my first poster up on my bedroom wall of a supercar. When I learned to drive a car it was the most liberating experience I've ever had. Better than a broomstick even. 'From my dad teaching me to feather a clutch in our 1979 Ford Fiesta which he had taught my three older brothers to drive in, to driving my first sports car. Nothing could compare to the excitement I have to actually be seated in the driver's seat of arguably the most exciting vehicle on four wheels on the planet. I know it needs a fifth wheel to steer and I am beyond thrilled to be given the opportunity to do so. 'I'll play it cool on the day, obviously, but my inner nine-year-old self will be screaming with joy the moment I get even close to the Formula E car — let alone get to actually drive one! It'll be a pinch myself, dream-come-true moment and I will make the most of every second.' The new additions join Sergio Agüero, Emelia Hartford, Cleo Abram, Lucien Laviscount, Vinnie Hacker and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, who is the first name to have been assigned to a team, with him working with Jaguar TCS Racing. With 10 names announced, that leaves just one more to come. Story originally appeared on Racer
