Ryan Reynolds tipped to show up at British GP as F1 team chief opens up on investment

Alpine's team principal has backed Ryan Reynolds to make an appearance at this Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Reynolds and fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney have partnered with Red Bird Capital and Otro Capital to buy a 24 per cent stake in Alpine, thought to have cost $200million (£157.3m). Reynolds and McElhenney also own EFL side Wrexham.

Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan has labelled the investment "ridiculous" and "preposterous" - but Alpine's team principal Otmar Szafnauer has welcomed the cash. He believes it will push his mid-level Formula One team into contention.
