Sports stars attach to Alpine F1 Team investment firm

Patrick Mahomes, Rory McIlroy and more have joined forces with Otro Capital to invest in Alpine’s Formula 1 team.

Some of sports’ biggest stars worldwide are banding together to invest in a Formula 1 team.

Earlier in the year, investment firm Otro Capital announced it would contribute a 200 million-euro investment fund to F1’s Alpine F1 Team. That fund was previously backed partially by actor and Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds, and now, multiple sports celebrities have joined the investment fund and attached their names to the team.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, golfer Rory McIlroy, former Heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua, Liverpool and England national team player Trent Alexander-Arnold and former Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata were among the sportsmen joining up with the project.

As it stands, Alpine is currently sixth in the 2023 constructors standings with 90 points. The investment may be sorely needed, as Alpine — formerly Renault — haven’t won a Formula 1 World Constructors Championship title since 2006.
