ENSTONE, England : Renault-owned Alpine believe Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds has the Midas Touch to help get the team back to the top in Formula One.
"Most of you were probably expecting Ryan Reynolds," Otro Capital founder and partner Alec Scheiner jokingly told analysts at Alpine's Enstone factory for a strategy presentation."He did Mint, Aviation Gin, Wrexham. Bringing sponsors, visibility and success. Everything he touches turns into some sort of success," he told reporters later.
Wrexham last April secured a fairytale return to the English Football League after a 15-year absence, with the club gaining a multitude of long-distance fans through a docu-series"Welcome to Wrexham". "Along the way we were thinking about how do you add visibility, incremental visibility, and these guys - Maximum Effort and Reynolds - they also do that," he said.
RedBird also has a controlling stake in French soccer club Toulouse, which caught Renault's attention, and owns Italy's AC Milan.
