Lewis Hamilton in “concrete talks” about the MotoGP team buy-in

According to the chief of the brand, Lewis Hamilton has led “concrete talks” about investments in the MotoGP outfit KTM.

Hamilton, the most successful Formula -1 driver of all time with seven world titles and 105 racing victory, is a lifelong fan of the Elite series of Motorcycle Racing and said in June that he was “definitely in equity”.

KTM – which are represented by two teams in MotoGP and are also involved in Moto2 and Moto3, are currently involved in a financial crisis, and their motorsport director Pit Beirer has announced that they are open to external investments.

Hamilton, he said, is one of many parties who are interested in a buy-in.

“I can only say that we had very interesting discussions with his management,” said Beirer to Speedweek.

“It is no secret that Lewis Hamilton is interested in MotoGP and thinks about his own team.

“There are concrete conversations here too.”

Hamilton has already ventured into the team ownership and was 522 part of the owner of the Denver Broncos in the NFL and the founding team X44 in Extreme E.

The 39-year-old, who will come to Ferrari from Mercedes next season, is also good friends with MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi.

KTM has a work team in MotoGP and Tech3 and is supported by Red Bull, one of Ferrari’s largest F1 rivals.
