aren’t the current rumors saying that Lance might be out next year?

There are a few rumors / speculations. One is that Lance is throwing the towel, possibly becoming a tennis player or going to WEC/IMSA. Another is that Lawrence is possibly selling the entire team to Aramco. Btw, there were a few strange deals around the Aston Martin road car company. Lawrence apparently sold a big chunk to Geely.

Edit:

• Aston Martin to raise £653mn as Saudi Arabia becomes major shareholder (2022, initially rejecting Geely)
• Aston Martin stock soars as China’s Geely to become no.3 shareholder (2023)
