Overview
- Alpine said a consortium that includes Christian Horner has expressed interest in acquiring the team’s minority holding currently owned by Otro Capital, with discussions taking place between shareholders.
- Otro Capital is exploring a sale of its 24% stake acquired in 2023, while Renault Group retains the remaining 76% of the team.
- Any transaction would require the buyer to agree terms with Otro Capital and then be approved by Renault, as reiterated by Alpine’s statement and Flavio Briatore.
- Reporting indicates Horner cannot take an operational role until later in 2026, so any investment would not translate into immediate day-to-day involvement.
- Alpine emphasized its focus on a 2026 competitive rebound under new regulations as it readies for a Mercedes power unit supply.
