Formula One driver and Paris St Germain fan Pierre Gasly has become an investor in third-tier French semi-professional soccer club FC Versailles.

The 28-year-old, who drives for Renault-owned Alpine, was announced on the clubโ€™s website on Monday as the third partner owner.

โ€œI am delighted to get involved with FC Versailles because I have always wanted to get involved in professional football,โ€ said the 2020 Italian Grand Prix winner.

โ€œWith (co-owners) Alexandre (Mulliez) & Fabien (Lazare), we share values, ambition and a keen competitive spirit which will allow us to positively develop the club. This is the start of a very beautiful story. Go Versailles.โ€
