Mercedes Exploring Stake in Alpine F1 Team Flavio Briatore, advisor to Alpine Formula 1 team, has confirmed discussions are underway between Mercedes and the team regarding a potential investment. The discussions center around a proposed 24% stake in Otro Capitali, the investment firm backing Alpine. This move follows previous interest from other teams, including Red Bull Racing, led by Christian Horner. Briatore indicated that Mercedes’ interest extends beyond simply investing in Otro Capitali. The German manufacturer, which utilizes Alpine’s power unit from the 2026 season onward, is seeking a greater operational presence within the team’s structure. The potential acquisition represents a significant development in the Formula 1 landscape, particularly given Alpine’s recent shift to Mercedes engines. Details of the proposed agreement remain under negotiation, but the involvement of a leading engine manufacturer signals a strategic move for both parties. This development follows previous reports of Otro Capitali’s involvement in Alpine’s ownership structure. The potential partnership highlights the evolving dynamics within Formula 1’s ownership and technical partnerships.
