Aston Martin's WEC Hypercar will be the first casualty of new finance/management structure. New Executive Chairman Stroll is an established Formula 1 guy with a portfolio of luxury brands to promote - he's not going to dilute the F1 budget to race in a class with no competition (2 LMP1 teams at CoTA 2020, 2 manufacturers signed up for Hypercar!) and no audience.
Beyond that, the future looks tough for cash-strapped AM. Costs have forced it to mothball electric car development and pin its survival on an old school SUV with a borrowed Benz V8 - just as the UK government announced it plans to outlaw new internal combustion car sales in 15 years. |
