Would they buy out Aston Martin F1 team from Stroll? Verstappen unhappy at RedBull, he may jump to Aston if PIF pays him well. Maybe Use Lucid battery technology for KERS. We might see Lucid advertising in F1.

make sense this is may be why Lucid got to ink a deal with Aston

Alpine would be the top choice in my mind, with the way Renault is running sideways away from 2026. They're constantly courting flashy investors as well with the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Mahomes etc.. I'd imagine that sort of glam would be attractive for PIF managers.

However - it's a little late to go in expecting a huge ROI, I think the sport is just about peaked in terms of market value. My humble 2 cents.
