However, amid all of these factors, we might have overlooked Wolff’s 1% ownership share in Aston Martin, the team who uses Mercedes ‘ engine. And gosh, what a job the green shining team has done! In addition to competing against some highly regarded teams, Aston Martin has improved its value by $300 million thanks to Fernando Alonso‘s podium finish after his first race in Bahrain.

The hosts of the Red Flag podcast while discussing the resurgence of Lewis Hamilton‘s adversary have spoken about how Fernando Alonso’s track prowess and back-to-back podiums have greatly enhanced Wolff’s fortunes. The host said, ” You know part of why he’s now a billionaire. Fernando f**king Alonso. He owns a 1% stake in Aston Martin. It always comes back to the king, to the dark Lord.” While praising Alonso, the host jokingly said, “Because he fucking did. Because he’s got a piece of a*s. Now I want Fernando to lose. I’m kidding I’m kidding.”
