Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, who recently bought a stake in Aston Martin, says Sebastian Vettel could also consider buying “a few shares”.
Earlier this year Wolff bought a 4.77% stake in Aston Martin, which led to speculation that the Austrian might be involved in the struggling manufacturer’s new Formula 1 operation. However, Wolff denied such an option on numerous occasions and explained this was just an investment for him.
“I have indeed bought a number of shares of Aston Martin as an investment, because I believe in the company and in their current strategy,” said the Austrian earlier this year.
“Tobias Moers, the new MD, is a guy that I’ve known since a long time. And I believe that he can turn around this business.
“There’s a very strong group of shareholders that are backing Aston Martin today that will not let it down. And therefore I’ve decided to be part of that group.”

After Sebastian Vettel was announced as Aston Martin’s 2021 driver, Wolff said the German could consider buying some shares as well.
“First and foremost, Sebastian is a racing driver,” Wolff told Auto Bild.
“It’s about the performance on the track. But that doesn’t mean that he might not buy a few shares as well – especially if the company is still valued low.
“The opportunity is there of course.”
