I feel like we overlooked heaping some deserved shame on Yuki.

Despite having a decent qualifying, he got stuck behind an Alpine and dutifully trundled along behind it for almost the entire race, creating a huge DRS train behind him. Passing the Alpine would have put him in the points. That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Bro is really not doing his future any favors.

Report: Aston Martin to Sell F1 Team and Go Private​

Nik Berg 31 July 2025

British luxury sports and supercar maker Aston Martin is to separate from its flagship race team and could remove itself from the London Stock Exchange.

The company has signed a binding letter of intent to sell its stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team to an as-yet undisclosed buyer. It won’t make a huge difference to the race division as the ‘parent’ company actually only owned 4.6% of the sporting arm, but the $146 million sale will raise will be a welcome cash injection for the car business, which continues to struggle financially.

Just yesterday, Aston Martin issued a profit warning, blaming U.S. tariffs and China’s economic slowdown, which means the company will only just break even this year. The new forecast caused the share price to drop seven percent in a day.

That’s on top of the dramatic losses suffered since the historic British firm first listed on the London Stock Exchange in October 2018. At the launch, the company sold shares for £19 ($25.30), valuing Aston Martin at £4.33 billion ($5.76 billion), but shares are currently trading at just 71 pence or 94 cents for a valuation of £826 M ($1.01 billion).

However, according to an analyst at Third Bridge, Aston Martin may well be de-listed. “Going private is being considered as a potential path forward,” Orwa Mohama told CityAM. “Our experts say simplifying the ownership structure could improve agility, attract long-term partners, and reduce the administrative and financial burdens of public listing.”

Despite its financial woes, Aston Martin’s product portfolio is at the strongest it’s been in years with the new Vantage, DB12, and Vanquish all being extremely well-received. Meanwhile, launching the DBX was a shrewd move, with the SUV making up around half of Aston Martin’s sales.

“Despite these challenges, Aston Martin’s client base offers some insulation. Buyers in the ultra-luxury segment tend to be less sensitive to inflation and economic cycles, giving the company more pricing flexibility,” added Mohama.

Qualifying in the points for the first time ever in that car and managing to fall out of it during a rain race with a total of about 10 passes is certainly...something?

Let's wait for the retards to show up and tell us that he's a lock to get the AM seat after Alonso retires because reasons.
