Pierre Gasly requested a meeting with Ryan Reynolds after the Hollywood A-lister became a minority shareholder in his Alpine team.
The investment was announced earlier this week by the team. Parent company Renault sold a 24 per cent stake of the team for £171m to a group named Maximum Effort Investments.
Reynolds leads that group alongside fellow Wrexham AFC owner Rob McElhenney. Fellow actor Michael B. Jordan is also part of the group, alongside Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners.
