Amid swirling rumors of Lewis Hamilton's potential foray into MotoGP team ownership, the Formula 1 superstar cleared the air during his appearance at the Britis
's potential foray into MotoGP team ownership, the Formula 1 superstar cleared the air during his appearance at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.that Hamilton was exploring the acquisition of the Gresini MotoGP team, currently owned by Nadia Padovani, the widow of founder Fausto Gresini.
"I’ve always loved MotoGP," Hamilton stated. “I am interested in the potential growth of the sport. But I haven’t looked that far into it yet. But anything is possible. I am definitely interested in equity." The Gresini team, a staple in MotoGP since 1997, lost its founder Fausto Gresini in 2021 but has continued to achieve competitive results with riders Enea Bastianini and Fabio di Giannantonio, and notably, the recent signing of Marc Marquez. Despite Marquez's upcoming move to the factory Ducati team, Hamilton's potential involvement could mark a significant improvement in branding for Gresini, especially with changes on the horizon due to Pramac’s exit.
"When I was younger I wanted to race bikes, not cars. But my dad wouldn’t let me race bikes - he said they were too dangerous!" He continued, reflecting on his successful career shift encouraged by his father: "He got me into four wheels rather than two. It was the right choice because if I was racing during the time Vale was there, I wouldn’t have been so successful!"
