News - 2026-08-25 - By Jenny Marsh

Autosport reported Aston Martin has sold a minority Formula 1 team stake to Robert Wood Johnson, who is also said to be joining the board.

Autosport reported that Aston Martin has sold a minority stake in its Formula 1 team to US billionaire Robert Wood Johnson. The same report said Johnson is set to join the board of directors as vice chairman, but the move was not confirmed in the supplied facts.

According to Autosport, Johnson is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical business and also owns the New York Jets NFL team. If confirmed, the deal would add another high-profile US sports investor to Aston Martin’s structure.

Aston Martin is a British Formula 1 constructor with eight active seasons across 1959-2026. Across those campaigns, the team has yet to record a race win or a constructors' championship title.
