So he bought a piece of wood from Aston Martin?

The 3rd paragraph said buying a piece of wood doesnt affect his reputation. Of course! But that was a huge investment.

Stroll' takeover= Step's takeover? What does it mean?

Now he buys shares and own only 30% of them despite being the owner of Mercedes

The word ' stake ' has various meanings, including a piece of wood. But here the meaning is "They bought a share of the company. Literally, stakes are sometimes placed in the ground to mark the boundaries of a person's land, so this may be the origin of using the word figuratively to refer to a share of a company.
