Patrick Mahomes, alongside his wife Brittany, made a splash in the racing world, not on the track, but in the high-stakes game of team ownership. The quarterback’s latest play? Joining the elite ranks of Alpine F1 Team owners.

His casual stroll into the team’s hospitality suite alongside Brittany wearing a cute orange dress —caught on video—was a far cry from Mahomes‘ usual stadium sprints, yet it signaled a new race had begun. “I’ve always had a passion for all sports. The opportunity to lead the investor group with Travis at Alpine F1 with Otro Capital was one I couldn’t pass up,” Mahomes shared last October when he became part of a group of athletes who joined the F1 team’s ownership group, along with teammate Travis Kelce.

As Mahomes gears up for his new role, Kelce took to the Kentucky Derby, where the tight end was spotted without his usual plus-one, Taylor Swift. Instead, he joined forces with Aaron Rodgers, another NFL star known for making bold plays off the field. The Derby may be a different kind of turf war, but for Kelce, it’s just another day at the races.
