Struggling F1 team Alpine has received some big financial backing from major sports stars as part of a joint investment under Otro Capital that could reshape out the team looks
Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are two of six global sports stars investing a combined £164 million into F1 team Alpine.
Alpine is enduring a mixed 2023 f1 season, sitting sixth in the constructors' championship, with drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon sitting 11th and 12th respectively in the drivers' standings. Mirror Sport takes a look at the five investors. "I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1,” said Kelce. "Our shared passion for excellence and innovation forms the cornerstone of this partnership. It’s about being able to contribute to a sport that demands precision, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of success. I am looking forward to this new chapter and can’t wait to see what we achieve together.
Rory McIlroy The 34-year-old's involvement comes fresh off the back of a Ryder Cup victory with Europe in Italy. Since turning pro in 2007, McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice, the US Open, and The Open Championship. The Masters, however, is yet to land in the PGA loyalist's impressive trophy cabinet.
Joshua is hoping to make his way back to the top of the heavyweight mountain and he has won his last two fights. "The chance to strategically invest with Otro Capital in Alpine was an opportunity I couldn’t ignore," Joshua said. “I’m excited to be joining Otro Capital’s group as an investor into Alpine F1 along with my brother Tyler,” said Alexander-Arnold. “Having been to Formula 1 races as a fan, I love the high-pressure environment of the paddock and I’ve seen first hand how incredibly impressive the Alpine team is.
