Al-Jama', expressed delight at becoming the exclusive title partner of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. Al-Jama highlighted the team's significant progress since partnering in 2022 and reinforced Aramco's long-term commitment to Aston Martin's car performance enhancements.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund recently increased its stake in British luxury carmaker Aston Martin to 20.5%. This move signifies the country's growing interest and involvement in the automotive industry.
Aramco Advances Car Performance
