British luxury carmaker Aston Martin is preparing to sell its stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 team as part of a wider strategy to stabilise its financial footing. The move follows an announcement that the Yew Tree Consortium, led by executive chairman Lawrence Stroll, will inject £52.5 million into the company, further increasing its ownership stake.
While the consortium said the transaction would enhance Aston Martin's liquidity by over £125 million, the announcement arrives amid mounting losses and growing pressure from potential US tariffs on imported automotive brands—posing additional threats to one of the UK's most iconic motoring names.
