Alpine's Ownership Stakes Draw Attention from F1's Power Players Wolff and Horner

The race to secure Alpine's future took an intriguing turn as the paddock's most powerful figures circle the team's available equity. Otro Capital's substantial 24% ownership stake in the Enstone-based operation has emerged as one of the most coveted assets in Formula 1, drawing interest from figures at the highest echelons of the sport.

Christian Horner's pursuit of Alpine shares has long been known within F1 circles, but it was Alpine's executive advisor Flavio Briatore who brought the matter into the spotlight. Rather than keeping discussions behind closed doors, Briatore elected to publicly acknowledge Horner's interest during the team's January launch event, demonstrating the seriousness with which Alpine views these negotiations.

The demand for a stake in Alpine reflects both the team's established heritage and the strategic value it represents to potential investors. As interest extends beyond Horner to encompass other heavyweight players in the paddock, the ownership question surrounding Alpine's F1 future continues to dominate conversation in the 2026 season.
