There were rumors that Lawrence Stroll would be keen to sell the team if he received a serious offer, but in an interview with The New York Times, the Aston Martin owner categorically denied this.
Lawrence Stroll: “I don’t know where these rumors come from, but I have read about them in one or two publications recently.
