Before Watching Pierre Gasly Suffer, Patrick Mahomes Stunned by $86,482 Worth Car

“Race Against Time.” Although Patrick Mahomes said this on July 7 while promoting Adidas, he actually visited “Hot Lap” to witness a race against time and competitors. But before that, he himself took a ride, honoring the highest praise from Alpine’s parent company, Renault.

Patrick Mahomes has been traveling the length and breadth of the European continent. After meeting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star made his way to the excitement of Formula 1, and here are the details of what happened at Silverstone!

That’s a freaking ride!

Patrick Mahomes visited the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire on Sunday, July 7, in collaboration with the Alpine F1 team. The French team shared the news and updates on Instagram, collaborating with the Chiefs’ quarterback. They announced the arrival of the three-time Super Bowl champ and also arranged a ride for the QB guest. Mahomes shared this on his official IG post tagging the team, and writing: “Silverstone @alpinef1team.” In the uploaded video, Mahomes can be seen prepping for a ride in an Alpine F1 car, which is reportedly worth $86,482, in a ‘hot lap’ race.

Mahomes’ expressions in the video clearly depicted that he was enjoying his ride with the car driver, as he also kept exclaiming, “Ohhhh Yeahhhh” and “Wooohooo!” He also can be heard saying, “That is freakin’ insane man” about the thrilling ride. However, his excitement took another level when after boarding off the car after the ride, Mahomes saw his no. 15 on the vehicle. He said, “I see what they do that there,” with a smile on the honor he received from the Alpine owner. To make the video interesting, Mahomes added Kayne West’s song “Touch the Sky” to the video.   Besides taking a ride himself, the 28-year-old also witnessed the event for which he was there. However, it eventually turned into a failing impression.

Alpine driver Pierre Gasly had a nightmare!

The co-owner of the Alpine Formula 1 team, Patrick Mahomes, attended the F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday. But contrary to what was expected, unfortunately, Alpine’s performance was disappointing as they failed to impress the Chiefs QB. Pierre Gasly’s car faced a gearbox issue, causing it to veer off track during the formation lap. Another Alpine driver, Esteban Ocon, finished in 16th place.

Gasly explained that their race strategy was already compromised due to planned engine and battery changes, which resulted in a 50-place grid penalty. Despite the rain offering a glimmer of hope, the team’s issue persisted as they eventually failed in the Hot Lap race in Silverstone. At the end of the IG video shared by Mahomes, he concluded by saying that he loved the game at the British Grand Prix and expressed that he will wait for his team to win the next time.   The Grand Prix will wait for Patrick Mahomes’ next visit too!
