They are highly decorated athletes from tennis to football to golf and boxing. They are all investing in a Formula 1 team. One of them is Alexander Zverev.
Led by football superstar Patrick Mahomes, other world-class athletes such as German Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev are investing in the French Formula 1 racing team Alpine.
“I’ve been a Formula 1 fan for a very, very long time,” said 26-year-old Zverev in a short video on Instagram: “And I’m really excited to see what the future holds for the team.”
In addition to Mahomes and Zverev, golfer Rory McIlroy, the former Spanish soccer world champion Juan Mata as well as the English national player Trent Alexander-Arnold and the former boxing world champion Anthony Joshua from Great Britain are also among the donors. Alpine and the investment company Otro published a corresponding list before Zverev also joined in via video.
Mahomes: “An exciting time for sports”
According to official information, the athletes are investing in Otro through the investment management company Apex. In June, together with two other investment companies, they bought from the team for 200 million euros. One of the other two companies is owned by two Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Mahomes said he couldn’t miss the opportunity: “It’s an exciting time for sports.”
As a footballer, Alexander-Arnold emphasized how important teamwork, innovation and determination are. The Liverpool FC professional has already been to races and in the paddock as a fan. He loves this “high-pressure environment,” he said.
