The F1 Melbourne Grand Prix was held last weekend. 130.000 people enjoyed the first race of the season under the rain, including Juan Mata.
The Spaniard traveled from Sydney to enjoy the great circus of Formula 1 and support the BWT Alpine team, in which he has been an investor since October 2023 through the Otro Capital group, along with other prominent athletes. “It was a joint investment by several athletes. An opportunity to enter a sport that is growing as much as Formula 1. Now that I’m living in Australia, I wanted to come and experience this atmosphere,” Juan told DAZN.
‘I’ve been following Formula 1 since Fernando Alonso gave us so much joy. It’s a pleasure to be here,’ the Asturian added from Albert Park. Juan was talking to members of the team supported by the historic Renault group and getting a first-hand insight into the work they do. When he was with Vissel Kobe a year and a half ago, he had already enjoyed the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka in person.
