Current Leadership
Executive Chairman & Owner
Lawrence Stroll, the Canadian billionaire whose fortune was built through fashion brands including Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, purchased the Force India team out of administration in 2018. He rebranded it as Racing Point before transforming it into Aston Martin in 2021, a move enabled by his simultaneous acquisition of a controlling stake in the Aston Martin Lagonda car company. Stroll has invested hundreds of millions in a state-of-the-art AMR Technology Campus and the recruitment of Adrian Newey, betting that money, infrastructure, and the sport's greatest designer can deliver a championship.
Title Partner & Strategic Investor
Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, became Aston Martin's title sponsor and strategic partner in 2022. While the exact financial terms are undisclosed, the partnership provides significant commercial revenue and is part of Saudi Arabia's broader engagement with Formula 1.

Historical Figures
Previous Owner (as Force India)
Indian businessman Vijay Mallya owned the team as Force India from 2008 to 2018, during which time the operation became one of the most efficient points-scoring teams in the paddock despite operating on one of the smallest budgets. Mallya's ownership ended when the team entered administration amid his personal legal and financial troubles.
