Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has shown serious interest in the wide world of sports since earning one of the largest contracts in NFL history and made his latest investment in the space on Tuesday.
Along with All-Pro teammate Travis Kelce, the reigning MVP purchased a stake in the Alpine Formula 1 team, which is sure to send shockwaves through the highest levels of the motorsports community.

“It’s an exciting time for the sport and this is an opportunity to bring our shared values to the world stage,” Mahomes was quoted in the team’s statement. “I’m looking forward to being a part of its growth.”
While Alpine may not be the most successful team in the history of Formula 1, it is one of the newer organizations in the sport. But, with the help of Mahomes and Kelce, among others, as financial backers, the organization may be able to compete for podiums sooner than some might expect.
