PADDOCK INSIDER: Alpine target Hollywood-esque charge to the front with Ryan Reynolds backing
It was the story that no one saw coming – star of Deadpool, Free Guy and The Proposal, Ryan Reynolds has dipped his toe into the world of Formula 1 as part of a consortium of investors that has acquired a 24% stake in the Alpine F1 Team.
Reynolds has an impressive track record across a range of businesses. He co-owns Wrexham AFC, who this year secured a remarkable return to the English Football League after a 15-year hiatus – just a couple of years after the Hollywood star took over at the top.
