Oh, to live life in the fast lane. Celebrities and Formula One racing have always had a mutual attraction, with sports stars and showbiz celebrities in VIP areas as the Grand Prix circus moves around the circuits best in the world.
Rory McIlroy is the latest big name to be seduced by the powerful roar of engines.
The Hollywood golfer is now part of a group of famous sports stars with shares in the Alpine F1 team, based in England and France.
Former world champion boxer Anthony Joshua and footballers Trent Alexander-Arnold and Juan Mata have at their disposal the necessary funds – a total of 200 million euros.
Two of NFL’s biggest names also got in on the action:
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight-end Travis Kelce — he of Taylor Swift fame.
We suspect the financial input is as far as it goes for Rory.
While he may get a wee test run in one of the racing team’s speed machines, he’s almost certainly better sticking to driving off the tee rather than the starting grid.
