Lawrence Stroll’s Best Investment Yet
Underestimating Lawrence Stroll would be a mistake. This man is a strategic genius. He's all about his son, Lance, and honestly? I'm here for it. (Fernando Alonso's basically his son, too, at this point.
He's a true leader, making bold and calculated moves. His past successes in F1 with Racing Point, which he transformed from a struggling team into a competitive force, and its further transformation into the legacy racing brand Aston Martin, are nothing short of impressive. If AMR secures a title in the next few seasons, it would undoubtedly be one of the most brilliant managerial moves in recent F1 history.
With Aston Martin's current valuation at approximately $1.5 Billion, the growth potential is staggering. If Newey's expertise can guide the team to championship glory, the impact on car sales and company valuation could be monumental. The company's value could potentially double or even triple over the next 3-5 years, heralding Aston Martin's new era of prosperity and growth.
Toto Wolff and Christian Horner have always been considered the 'Big Two' F1 Team Principals and Owners. If Lawrence Stroll can add a title to his list of accomplishments, his name would undoubtedly enter the 'Big Three' Principal/Owner conversation, marking a significant shift in the F1 hierarchy.
Adrian Newey, a central figure in the racing world, debuted in the 1980s and has consistently demonstrated his genius. He has achieved 220 wins, 13 drivers' titles, and 12 constructors' titles while working with renowned teams such as Williams, McLaren, Red Bull, and now Aston Martin.
These are my expectations from Newey during his time at Aston Martin: a championship-contending F1 car leading to a title win, a revival of Aston Martin's presence at Le Mans, and the creation of a signature production car, "the Aston Martin Newey," before his departure.
