Trent Alexander-Arnold, a defender for Liverpool FC, is currently a shareholder in the Alpine Formula 1 team. The strategic investment was made by APEX, an investment manager with a focus on sports, media, and entertainment.
Trent does, for what it’s worth, appear to actually be a fan of Formula One, and he frequently appears at races when the football season isn’t in session.
Additional notable figures connected to this venture include:
Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney
Golfer Rory McIlroy
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua
Tennis pro Alexander Zverev
NFL players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs
and former Chelsea and Manchester United player Juan Mata
Trent discussed his involvement in the project:
“I am honoured to serve as the leader of a group of investors in Alpine F1. The chance is really exciting; Formula One is expanding greatly on a global scale, and I look forward to helping to fuel that expansion. In a high-pressure setting, the sport combines teamwork, precision accuracy, and inventiveness; these are features of my game that we share.”
