Nate Saunders makes his first prediction on the winner of the 2025 F1 Championship (1:49).
Lewis Hamilton has held “concrete discussions” about an investment in the KTM MotoGP team, according to the brand’s boss.
Hamilton, the most successful Formula One driver of all time, with seven world titles and 105 race wins, is a longtime fan of elite motorcycle racing and said in June that he is “definitely interested in justice. “
KTM — who are represented by two teams in MotoGP and also are involved in Moto2 and Moto3 — are currently engulfed in a financial crisis, and their motorsports director Pit Beirer has revealed they are open to outside investment.
Hamilton, he said, is one of many members.
“I can only say that we had very interesting discussions with his management,” Beirer told Speedweek.
“It’s no secret that Lewis Hamilton is in MotoGP and thinking about his own team.
“Here, too, there are concrete talks.”
Hamilton has already ventured into team ownership, becoming a part-owner of the Denver Broncos in the NFL in 2022 and founding Team X44 in Extreme E.
The 39-year-old, who will join Ferrari from Mercedes next season, is also friends with MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi.
KTM has a factory team in MotoGP, with Tech3, and is supported through Red Bull, one of Ferrari’s rivals in F1.
