Jets' Johnson Buys F1 Team Stake

Woody Johnson, owner of the NFL's New York Jets, has acquired a minority stake in the Aston Martin F1 team and will join the board as vice chairman, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Johnson expressed his appreciation for Aston Martin's history and executive chairman Lawrence Stroll's vision during his tenure as U.S. ambassador to the UK. amunra-opinie.pl

The purchase adds F1 to Johnson's sports portfolio, which includes the Jets (since 2000) and Premier League's Crystal Palace. Jets fans may hope the investment dilutes Johnson's attention on the team, which last made the playoffs in 2010.
