Lewis Hamilton has always been a big fan of motorcycling, so much so that in 2019 he and Rossi organized two days in Valencia in which he tested the Doctor’s Yamaha MotoGP and, in turn, Valentino drove the Mercedes F1. Two wheels could now once again enter the life of the British rider who is thinking of buying a team.
These are the rumours that were circulating in the Assen paddock over the weekend, during the final round of the MotoGP. The team that the fastest baronet in the world would like is Gresini Racing, founded by the former 125 world champion Fausto and, after his death, led by his wife Nadia Padovani. The one in which the two brothers Alex and Marc Marquez race on Ducatis.
Hamilton is no stranger to investing in other sports. In 2021 he founded the X44 team which competed in the Extreme MotoGP would certainly be suitable for him and Gresini Racing is a team rich in history and successes, in which Marco Simoncelli had also raced.
Not to mention that such an operation could only please Liberty Media, owner of Formula 1 and fresh from the acquisition of Dorna (even if the final approval from the antitrust is still missing), the Spanish company that organizes the world championship. The distance between Maranello, home of Ferrari for which Hamilton will race from next year, and Faenza, home of the Gresini team, is just a hundred kilometers. Perhaps the time has come for Hamilton to buy a house in Italy.
