Christian Horner in Talks With MSP Sports Capital Over 24% Alpine F1 Stake

Any deal would still require Otro Capital to sell the stake followed by Renault approval as majority owner.

Overview

  • Sky News reported that MSP Sports Capital is among investors discussing backing Horner’s potential offer for Otro Capital’s holding, and the firm declined to comment.
  • Alpine confirmed Horner’s consortium is one of several parties to express interest, with talks routed through existing shareholders rather than the team.
  • Reporting places a prospective valuation for Alpine at roughly $2 billion to $2.5 billion in these discussions.
  • Renault holds 76% of the team, so any buyer of the 24% stake would enter as a minority partner unless Renault’s stance changes.
  • Horner is pursuing an equity-led return after leaving Red Bull in 2025, with any immediate hands-on role constrained by contractual restrictions.
