The Billionaire Lawrence Stroll bought Aston Martin when it was Force India to rebrand it to Racing Point. The ambitious honcho has since then worked hard to put the shiny green team at the top step. While that may still not be the case, Aston Martin has made mammoth progress. However, despite the legacy of the brand and its 2.4-second gain over the winters, the team owner still has his heart elsewhere.
When Sebastian Vettel said, “Everyone is a Ferrari fan. Even if they say they’re not, they are Ferrari fans,” nobody thought that his future boss of a rival team would fit the description. Yes, Ferrari is the reason senior Stroll has snubbed his own team’s brand. The envious $70 Million collection of cars has a scarlet dominance and we aren’t talking about the color of the cars but their Maranello-based DNA.
As quoted by Cuatro.com, Lawrence has an elaborate Ferrari collection. The website states, “The Aston Martin bonnet is crazy about classic Ferraris. In his enviable garage he has models such as the Ferrari 250 GTO – the most expensive car in history – a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider, the Ferrari 330 P4, Ferrari 512 M and the Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione.”

A further description of more cars is also mentioned, “But the collection does not end there and Lawrence Stroll also has the Ferrari 308 GTS, the 288 GTO, the F40, the F50, the Enzo Ferrari and the almighty LaFerrari models , of which Fernando Alonso also has one of the few models that is they manufactured. In addition to these street cars, in his particular museum there is also room for the following competition models: the Ferrari 333 SP, the Ferrari F40 GTE , the Ferrari 360 GT, the Ferrari 512 BB LM and the FXX and FXXK models.”
While the billionaire might have given a cold shoulder to the cars his team makes, his ambitions for his team and now bearing fruits.

Recruitment of the beast Fernando Alonso, and the vision for the Silverstone-based outfit weren’t taken as seriously before the matador put his Aston on the podium alongside heavily dominant Red Bulls. However, in an off-track parameter, the green team has already beaten the mighty RB. Reportedly, the team stands at a social value worth $3.7 million.
Vincenzo Landino reported, “On the track, the savvy veteran Fernando Alonso put his car on the podium (P3!) in his first race with the team. At the same time, Lance Stroll drove to a P6 finish with pins in both wrists and a broken toe. Off the track, the Aston Martin social media team took advantage of the extra excitement and eyeballs to the tune of over 113 million impressions.”
