After investing in Otro Capital earlier, star athletes like Travis Kelce and Anthony Joshua became a part of the Alpine F1 unit's investment team.

Otro Capital had made a €200 million investment in the French team in exchange for a 24 percent stake. Within four months, numerous star athletes invested in the group, which will impact the team and see them off better in terms of finances.

Amongst the group of investors is Travis Kelce, who has been allegedly dating pop singer Taylor Swift for the past month. Fans on social media were rather excited to see Kelce invest in the Formula 1 team, in expectation of seeing Swift on the F1 paddock someday.

One fan wrote:

"taylor swift in alpine hospitality soon i did not expect that."

Some also doubted if the investment would actually help the team in terms of performance during the races against their competitors.

"that wont make them any faster on track."
