I'm Barry Ritholz and I'm Hannah Elliot and this is Hot Pursuit.

So today we have a special treat Barry Redholz's back again to co-host with me.

Matt Miller, our usual co-host is out because his wife is having a baby this week, so I guess that takes precedence.

And rightfully so over recording a podcast.

But we have a lot of really fun things to talk about.

First up, Aston Martin, owner, Lawrence Stroll, has

sold a minority stake in his Aston Martin Formula One team. Then we'll talk about

the Formula One race in Las Vegas, which was a wonderful glittering circus so we can get into that that was fun and then I want to talk about this Michael Man Ferrari movie that we've been hearing about and then let's see I drove the Outie SQ8 E-Tron last week.

We can talk about that and then what are you driving over the holiday?

So let's get right to it.

Barry, thank you so much for joining us.

Let's talk about this Aston Martin sell-off. Did you see the news and

how did that strike you? You know it's not a wholesale transaction. It's a minority stake

suggests a you know f1 teams have gone up in value dramatically

partly due to drive to survive on Netflix it looks like someone is taking a little profits off the top. I'm not

reading more into that unless you're gonna break some news. No, you know, it's

really interesting. I did talk with Lawrence Stroll in Las Vegas and you

know you kind of hear things trickling through the grapevine oh this is an

indicator he's not committed he's just trying to siphon off some of his shares but you know he really

really tried to reiterate the fact that that is not the case he's a hundred percent committed

he did say repeatedly that the raising team is profitable, so this wasn't about raising cash.

This was more about trying to leverage some of the other franchises at this equity firm.
