In 2025 Lewis Hamilton will face one of the biggest changes of his career with his move to Classic Ferrari for sale. An important change in itself, destined to change his life and Formula 1. This change would be joined by another, this time linked to the world of two wheels. As reported by The RaceIn fact, 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton would be interested in acquiring the MotoGP Team Gresini. In fact, the first contacts would have taken place in Assen, in the Netherlands.
At the moment there have been no confirmations, we are only talking about rumours. The Gresini team also seems to have denied this news, which however has aroused a lot of curiosity among fans of both categories.
Lewis Hamilton interested in joining MotoGP but not as a pilot
Lewis Hamilton is a great motorcycling enthusiast but being already of an advanced age - sportingly speaking - he would have thought of not trying his hand at driving but of combining his passion with another of his qualities, that of entrepreneurship. The Englishman, in fact, is no stranger to investments in the sporting field and outside the world of car racing. In 2021, he founded the X44 team, which participated in the Extreme E electric championship, winning the title in 2022. In 2022, Hamilton joined the ownership group of the Denver Broncos American football team, showing his interest and engagement in a wide range of sports. Furthermore, Hamilton had previously expressed interest in acquiring Chelsea Football Club, demonstrating his ambition to diversify and expand its sporting activities.
The possible acquisition of Team Gresini is therefore part of a broader strategy of investments and involvement in various sports, highlighting the versatility and resourcefulness of the British champion.
Contacts in Assen with Nadia Padovani
According to sources close to Hamilton, the British driver has expressed interest in acquiring Team Gresini, currently led by Nadia Padovani, widow of founder Fausto Gresini. During the Dutch GP weekend in Assen, a member of Hamilton's inner circle was spotted with the Gresini team, further fueling rumors of a possible takeover. The Italian team, which races Ducati motorcycles in MotoGP, is one of the most respected in the championship.
The history and successes of Team Gresini
Founded in the 90s by former 125cc world champion Fausto Gresini, Team Gresini has built a solid reputation in the motorcycling scene. The team has won numerous titles in the minor classes and has always fought at the top of MotoGP, with notable riders such as Sete Gibernau, Marco Melandri and the late Marco Simoncelli. In recent years, with the arrival of Ducati, the team has continued to achieve prestigious results, including successes with Enea Bastianini and Alex Marquez. The possible acquisition by Hamilton could bring new resources and visibility to the team, projecting it towards new goals.
F1 and MotoGP increasingly united
Hamilton's interest in MotoGP fits into a broader context, characterized byacquisition of the motorcycle series by Liberty Media, already owner of Formula 1. This step, still awaiting approval from the antitrust authorities, represents a significant turning point for the world of racing. The entry of a prominent figure like Hamilton could act as a bridge between F1 and MotoGP fans, creating synergies and increasing the attractiveness of the two-wheel category. For Liberty Media, having a champion of this caliber involved in MotoGP would be a strategic coup to consolidate their position in the world of motor sport.
