Ernesto Bertarelli
Ernesto Bertarelli is a Swiss billionaire and entrepreneur best known for his role as the owner of the Alinghi sailing team, which won the America's Cup twice. His recent decision to dissolve Alinghi Red Bull Racing is linked to frustrations with the upcoming Cup's regulations and a lack of consensus with Team New Zealand, the title defender. Bertarelli's withdrawal marks a significant moment in America's Cup history, as it represents his second exit from the prestigious sailing competition since 2010. As he approaches his 60th birthday, speculations arise about his future involvement in sailing, with possibilities ranging from taking over a Swiss Sail GP team to stepping away from the sport altogether.
