Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and F1 Speed Demons? Inside Their Wild Weekend with Alpine in Miami

What happens when two NFL superstars collide with the high-octane world of Formula 1? In Miami, fans got their answer—an unforgettable weekend of speed, style, and star power. Kansas City Chiefs icons Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes took their talents to the track as they joined forces with Alpine F1 drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon for a Grand Prix weekend that had everyone talking.

The duo, who invested in the Alpine team in 2023 through a deal with Otro Capital, weren’t just passive observers. They dove headfirst into the experience, taking hot laps around the Miami International Autodrome, chatting strategy with engineers, and soaking up the adrenaline of the race weekend. “Travis and Patrick brought their big personalities, and Pierre and Esteban matched their energy,” one team insider shared. “It was like watching four longtime friends catch up.”

Kelce, always the entertainer, kept the crew laughing with post-lap jokes about needing a “nap after those corners,” while Mahomes—ever the student—asked questions about the Alpine A524 like a true gearhead. Their presence brought a unique blend of NFL grit and Hollywood flair to the paddock, especially when Kelce’s partner, Taylor Swift, made a surprise appearance, lighting up the garage and post-race celebration.

The group’s chemistry didn’t end at the track. A private dinner hosted by team sponsor BWT brought the foursome closer, bonding over life in the public eye and the discipline it takes to perform under pressure. Gasly and Ocon admired the Chiefs’ Super Bowl success, while Kelce and Mahomes gained new appreciation for the mental and physical toll of F1 racing.

Though Alpine finished just outside the top 10, the weekend was a win for team morale and fan engagement. Kelce and Mahomes cheered from the garage in full Alpine gear, proving they’re more than investors—they’re passionate partners.

As the crossover between NFL and F1 grows, so does the friendship between these sports stars. Plans are already in the works for more race appearances, and yes—Kelce is still joking about learning to drive an F1 car. If this weekend was any indication, the Mahomes-Kelce-Alpine alliance is just getting started.
