De Meo: 'Paint the car white if Real Madrid becomes sponsor'

BWT was the Racing Point sponsor for many years and that car was all pink. It is not expected that Alpine will go that far, but it is certain that pink accents will be visible on the Alpine car this season. After all, the company transfers enough money to the formation from Viry.

De Meo was asked during a press event if Alpine was not interested in sponsoring Real Madrid. The Spanish soccer team currently has a partnership with Audi: all players of Real Madrid get a new Audi every year. The French enclave at Real Madrid may be enlarged next year with the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappe. In addition, Fernando Alonso is a big fan of Real Madrid and the contract with Audi is expiring. One and one is two?

"I don't think Alpine has enough money to sponsor Real Madrid," said a smiling De Meo.

"Rather, it should be Real Madrid that sponsored Alpine. If the agreement is reached, we will paint the car white," the 54-year-old Italian top executive told AS.
