Wolff Reportedly Leads Bid for 24% Alpine Stake as Horner Targets the Same Slice

Renault must sign off on any sale, with Alpine underscoring that discussions are confined to its shareholders.

Overview

  • The Telegraph reports Toto Wolff is leading an offer to acquire the 24% of Alpine held by investment group Otro Capital, with no agreement announced.
  • Christian Horner has been linked to the same stake as a route back into Formula 1, a path that could be blocked if Wolff’s bid prevails.
  • Renault Group retains roughly 76% of Alpine, so any change in the shareholder lineup requires its approval, according to multiple reports.
  • Mercedes already supplies Alpine with power units and gearboxes through at least 2030, making a potential equity link sensitive within paddock governance debates highlighted by rivals such as McLaren’s Zak Brown.
  • Media valuations for the 24% vary, with figures cited around £448 million and roughly €520–€555 million, as investors eye Alpine’s turnaround after a difficult 2025 season.
