Why Racing Point's owner buying Aston Martin would make sense
After a turbulent year, Aston Martin's stock market value has plummeted - and one possible rescuer is Lawrence Stroll, leader of the consortium that rescued the Formula 1 team now known as Racing Point. MARK GALLAGHER explains why an acquisition would make sense
Not long after my lodger-turned-Formula-1-driver Eddie Irvine left Jordan to join Ferrari, Eddie Jordan got to know the then-40-year-old Lawrence Stroll, whose Tommy Hilfiger fashion company was sponsoring the Scuderia.
Never one to waste time, there soon followed the inevitable request from EJ to produce a proposal, dispatched to Stroll, inviting him to bring his financial support to Jordan Grand Prix. I still have the document on a 3.5-inch floppy disk somewhere in my garage.
