Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua join investors in Alpine's Formula 1 team

October 17, 2023

Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua and Trent Alexander-Arnold are among the leading sports stars who have joined the investment group which recently bought into the Alpine Formula 1 team.

In June, Otro Capital announced a €200 million (£164m) strategic investment in the Renault-owned Alpine team in exchange for a 24 per cent equity stake in Alpine Racing.

Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in June were already named as part of the investor group.

Four months on and a number of additional names have now been named as part of that group:

  • Patrick Mahomes
  • Rory McIlroy
  • Anthony Joshua
  • Trent Alexander-Arnold
  • Travis Kelce
  • Juan Mata

Otro Capital said in a statement: "The addition of these championship winning international athletes and sports investors will bolster Otro Capital's strategic partnership with Alpine F1, combining premium expertise across different areas of the sports ecosystem and driving Alpine F1's reach to a world of new fans.

"The new investors will help drive global awareness for Alpine F1 and will further complement Otro Capital's contributions in areas such as media, sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, commercial rights management, licensing and merchandising."
