The Aston Martin F1 team will sell a stake to two major investment funds, Sky News report.
It will result in the F1 team being valued between £1.5bn and £2bn.
HPS Investment Partners (which managed roughly £87.6bn of assets) and Accel (a Silicon Valley giant) will invest hundreds of millions of pounds into Aston Martin F1’s holding company, Sky News report.
