Invest in a F1 team - AMR GP Finance PLC 7% 2026

Was reading an interesting article where it was describing F1 as becoming more of an investible opportunity, primarily driven by the implemented reducing cost cap structure and a fairer prize money allocation based on their finishing position each year (previously longer running teams received a special payment, e.g. Ferrari).

Sounds like another mini bonds scam IMHO

I would rather put it in biotech than this

I'd even consider Bitcoin over this, I don't hold or believe in it but I don't see it going to 0 and at least it's a liquid asset.

No reason not to hold the stock within the right vehicle. Very few people research the fundamentals of their investments at the best of times. Only reason it receives attention is due to the name. That's what driaws people in.

Bond paid back after 5 years. 

Or as investors in the likes of Blackmore Bond have found the interest payments can stop and there is no return of capital. Not saying it will happen but it's a distinct possibility if the team struggle in future. Bonds are the finance that is bottom of the pile for repayment.

The company has made significant losses over the last reporting periods, what makes you think that will turn around to enable repayment?

Stroll has committed to getting this team and brand to the top. 
He hasn't failed at much if anything in business yet. 
He is a billionaire with a dream. I like that. 

All true, but he is looking to do it on the back of risking other people's money.  He won't be doing that with mine.

Like this one perhaps?

There are equity and high yield bond investment trusts that yield ~7%. They are collective investments with many holdings run by professional fund managers so the chances of them going flat broke is pretty low. You can also sell up any time you like rather than waiting for 5 years

Why would you back a single bond like the one in the OP?
