Liverpool owner John W Henry
John Hendry's Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are currently one of the potential suitors in talks to purchase a stake in the Cadillac Formula 1 team.
Liverpool's owners have held conversations with current team owner Mark Walter, who continues to sell off his sporting assets following allegations of insurance fraud.

Walter has already sold his 13 per cent interest in Chelsea and his majority stake in the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers this summer.
The American motorsport team entered Formula 1 this year and are jointly owned by Walter's TWG Global and General Motors.
TWG has said that any sale of Cadillac will not be imminent; however, FSG are one of the interested parties with the shares being valued at £2.24billion.
Hendry already has majority stakes in two other sporting entities, including in the Boston Red Sox and the NHL team Pittsburgh Penguins.

The group sold 38 per cent of the Reds this summer to a consortium that includes the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
The group also signed with the option to complete a full takeover at Anfield before August 2027.
Liverpool was valued at £5.5billion this summer, with FSG making a huge profit after they purchased the entire club for only £300million in 2010.
FSG has previous experience of investing in motorsport through the 50 per cent stake in the Nascar team RFK Racing.
Formula 1 has been an attractive avenue for investors over the last decade, with the sport's revenue doubling to £3billion since it was purchased by Liberty media in 2017.
Additionally, viewer numbers and brand engagement have reached an all-time high following the release of Netflix's 'Drive to Survive', meaning TV rights continue to increase.

Jim Ratcliffe's adventure into Formula 1
Co-owner of Manchester United Jim Ratcliffe owns a third of the Mercedes F1 team through his company INEOS.
He shares three equal stakes alongside Mercedes-Benz, and team principal Toto Wolff.
Unlike his hands-on operational leadership of football operations at Old Trafford, Ratcliffe’s involvement in Mercedes is as a major corporate and sporting shareholder rather than day-to-day team boss.
The Silver Arrows have been valued at £4.6billion this year, meaning the value of Ratcliffe's shares within the team are approximately £1.6billion.
Prior to becoming an owner, INEOS had a five-year sponsorship deal with the team in 2020 that was valued around £100million.
Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli won the World Drivers Championship last weekend and the team are set to secure the World Constructors Championship at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix this weekend.
