Mumtalakat and CYVN Holdings are buying out the minority stakes in McLaren Racing owned by MSP Sports Capital and other investors at a valuation underlining its resurgent performance, Sky News can exclusively reveal.

The McLaren Formula One team is to be valued at over 053bn in a deal that will reap a stellar return for the investors which helped bail out its parent company during the pandemic.

Sky News can exclusively reveal that McLaren Group's owners - Mumtalakat, the Bahraini sovereign wealth fund, and Abu Dhabi-based automotive investment group CYVN Holdings - are to buy out the 30% stake in McLaren Racing that they do not already own.

Sources said the deal, which will give the two Gulf investors full ownership of McLaren Racing, could be announced as soon as Tuesday.

If confirmed, a transaction would value McLaren Racing at over 053bn, the sources said, underlining the resurgent performance of its motorsport operations under chief executive Zak Brown.

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri won last weekend's Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, with McLaren holding an apparently impregnable grip on this year's F1 constructors' championship.

Briton Lando Norris sits in second place in the drivers' rankings, behind his Australian team-mate.

The deal will involve Mumtalakat and CYVN acquiring the stakes in McLaren Racing currently owned by MSP Sports Capital, Ares Investment Management, UBS O'Connor and a number of other small shareholders.

MSP Sports Capital spearheaded a deal announced in 2020 to buy an initial 15% stake in McLaren Racing which gave the business a post-money valuation of 05560m.

The deal provided urgently needed capital to the wider McLaren Group, whose automotive arm's finances were placed in a parlous state by the pandemic.

McLaren Group engineered a series of capital injections, the sale of its Applied Technologies division and the sale-and-leaseback of its spectacular Surrey headquarters in a bid to strengthen its balance sheet.

The 053bn-plus valuation at which the 30% stake is expected to change hands this week reflects the stronger financial position of the broader McLaren Group, as well as the phenomenal performance of the McLaren Racing business.

McLaren Racing is owned by McLaren Group Ltd, while McLaren Group Holdings - the entity owned by CYVN - in turn owns 100% of McLaren Automotive.

Sports financiers said it would also underline growing investor appetite for F1-related assets, with Aston Martin saying in July that it would sell its stake in its eponymous Grand Prix team at a valuation of 052.4bn.

There has also been speculation about the future of Red Bull's investment in the sport, and about Ineos's long-term commitment to the Mercedes F1 team.

Some of the minority investors in McLaren Racing acquired their stakes in 2021 and will also bank a handsome windfall from the sale to McLaren Group.

Mumtalakat will retain a controlling stake in McLaren Racing after the buyout of the minority investors, according to insiders.

The deal will further simplify the ownership of one of the most famous names in the global luxury car industry.

Bankers have talked up the prospect of a McLaren public listing for years, but its repeated need to tap private shareholders for funding and the supply chain challenges which have hindered its recovery mean that an IPO is still likely to be several years away.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company was forced into a far-reaching restructuring that saw hundreds of jobs axed.

Founded in 1963 by Bruce McLaren, the group's name is among the most famous in motorsport.

During half a century of competing in F1, it has won the constructors' championship numerous times, while its drivers have included the likes of Mika Hakkinen, Lewis Hamilton, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna.

In total, the team has won more than 200 Grands Prix, three Indianapolis 500s and the Le Mans 24 Hours on its debut.

The company saw its separate divisions reunited following the departure in 2017 of Ron Dennis, the veteran McLaren boss who had steered its F1 team through the most successful period in its history.

Mr Dennis offloaded his stake in a 05275m deal following a bitter dispute with fellow shareholders.

McLaren Racing declined to comment.

天空新闻独家披露：穆塔拉卡特控股公司和CYVN控股公司正以突显迈凯伦车队业绩复苏的估值，收购MSP体育资本及其他投资者持有的迈凯伦赛车公司少数股权。

根据一项交易协议，迈凯伦一级方程式车队的估值将超过30亿英镑。疫情期间曾注资救助其母公司的投资者们，有望通过此次交易获得巨额回报。

天空新闻台独家披露：迈凯伦集团的所有者——巴林主权财富基金穆塔拉卡特控股公司（Mumtalakat）及总部位于阿布扎比的汽车投资集团CYVN控股——拟收购其尚未持有的迈凯伦车队30%股权。

消息人士称，这笔交易将使两家海湾投资方完全控股迈凯伦车队，相关公告最早可能于周二发布。

知情人士透露，若交易达成，迈凯伦赛车（McLaren Racing）的估值将超过30亿英镑。这一数字凸显了首席执行官扎克·布朗（Zak Brown）领导下该公司赛车业务的强劲复苏态势。

迈凯伦车队车手奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里在上周末的荷兰赞德沃特大奖赛中夺冠，目前迈凯伦车队在本赛季F1制造商锦标赛中占据明显优势，地位看似不可撼动。

英国车手兰多·诺里斯目前在车手积分榜上位列第二，仅次于他的澳大利亚队友。

根据协议，穆塔拉卡特控股公司（Mumtalakat）和蔚来资本（CYVN）将收购迈凯伦赛车（McLaren Racing）的股份，这些股份目前由MSP体育资本（MSP Sports Capital）、阿瑞斯投资管理公司（Ares Investment Management）、瑞银奥康纳（UBS O'Connor）及其他数家小股东持有。

MSP体育资本（MSP Sports Capital）牵头于2020年宣布了一项交易，收购迈凯伦赛车（McLaren Racing）15%的初始股份，使该公司的投后估值达到5.6亿英镑。

这笔交易为迈凯伦集团提供了急需的资金。该集团的汽车部门财务因疫情陷入岌岌可危的境地。

迈凯伦集团为强化资产负债表，实施了一系列资本注入举措，包括出售其应用技术部门，并以售后回租方式处置其位于萨里郡的宏伟总部。

本周预计以超30亿英镑估值交易的30%股权，反映出迈凯伦集团整体财务状况的增强，以及迈凯伦赛车业务的卓越表现。

迈凯伦赛车公司隶属于迈凯伦集团有限公司，而由CYVN控股的迈凯伦集团控股公司则全资拥有迈凯伦汽车公司。

体育金融专家表示，此举还将凸显投资者对一级方程式相关资产日益增长的兴趣。阿斯顿·马丁7月曾宣布，将以24亿英镑的估值出售其同名F1车队的股份。

外界还对红牛车队对该项运动的投资前景，以及英力士集团对梅赛德斯F1车队的长期承诺进行了猜测。

迈凯伦赛车公司的部分少数股东于2021年购入股份，此次出售给迈凯伦集团的交易也将为他们带来可观的收益。

据知情人士透露，在收购少数投资者股份后，穆塔拉卡特控股公司将保留对迈凯伦车队的控股权。

此次交易将进一步简化这家全球顶级豪华汽车品牌的所有权结构。

多年来，银行家们一直鼓吹迈凯伦公开上市的前景。然而，该公司屡次需要向私人股东筹集资金，加之供应链问题阻碍了其复苏进程，这意味着其首次公开募股（IPO）可能仍需数年时间才能实现。

新冠疫情期间，该公司被迫进行大规模重组，导致数百个工作岗位被裁撤。

该集团由布鲁斯·迈凯伦（Bruce McLaren）于1963年创立，其名称在赛车运动领域享誉盛名。

在半个世纪的F1赛事征程中，这支车队多次斩获制造商冠军，其麾下更囊括了米卡·哈基宁、刘易斯·汉密尔顿、阿兰·普罗斯特和埃尔顿·塞纳等传奇车手。

该车队总计赢得了200多场大奖赛、3次印第安纳波利斯500赛事，并在首次亮相时便摘得勒芒24小时耐力赛桂冠。

2017年，曾带领迈凯伦F1车队度过其历史上最辉煌时期的老将罗恩·丹尼斯离任后，该公司各分立部门得以重新整合。

在与公司其他股东发生激烈争执后，丹尼斯先生以2.75亿英镑的价格出售了其所持股份。

迈凯伦车队拒绝置评。
