Did you watch the Dutch Grand Prix on TV yesterday? If you have been watching races this season, you will not be particularly surprised that it was another victory for Max Verstappen and the Red Bull team. Somewhat less successful, although they did get one point from a 10th place finish, was the Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) team, continuing its generally dull performance this year. There is always next year I guess. And at least the money will survive for the next year or two for the whole Aston Martin Lagonda business following the formal announcement today of a "fully committed and underwritten c.£575.8m Rights Issue...irrevocable commitments from PIF, the Yew Tree Consortium & Mercedes-Benz AG to take up their full entitlements, amounting to 44.7% of total Rights Issue". Such is the world of fast expensive cars and rich people.
