Lewis Hamilton in MotoGP. No, we are not in any metaverse, but in a concrete scenario. According to what is reported The Racethe seven-time Formula 1 world champion has reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Gresini by its current owner, Nadia Padovani. Although the Ducati satellite team has denied the news, the presence of emissaries of the Mercedes rider in Assen during the last GP suggests a possible affair in progress.
An interest never hidden
The operation would make sense for several reasons, starting with theLH’s love for two wheels. In fact, it is no secret the strong appeal aroused by the driver, confessed by himself in an old interview: “I have always loved motorbikes when I was younger I wanted to race motorbikes, not cars, but my father didn’t allow me: he said they were too dangerous”. Beyond the curious initiatives with his friend Valentino Rossi on the track, he has already collaborated with MG Agusta and even rode a MotoGP in the past. The possible entry would collect Liberty Media’s Favorswhich also owns F1. Having one of the successful drivers still active would give an important image return to the premier class of motorcycles.
And then there would already be the conditions for a leading role from the beginning. Over the years the team Gresini he has, in fact, distinguished himself for the quality of his work. Having broken the ice in the minor categories, with a slew of titles won by talents such as Daijiro Kato, Toni Elias and Jorge Martin, he has made the definitive leap in quality. The close relationships signed together with Ducati, of which he represents a satellite team, have allowed him to accumulate a significant wealth of resources. Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio have laid important foundations on which to build the future, and seeing the team compete in the top positions has ceased to be a novelty. At the top of the general classification we find Martin and, even if he will ride for Aprilia from 2025, the ambitions will remain unchanged.
A breath of enthusiasm
Hamilton’s hypothetical arrival would be able to convey a breath of fresh air and enthusiasm, as well as consolidate the relationship between the English baronet and Italy. His arrival at Ferrari has been certain for months, in place of Carlos Sainz. Although the Spaniard has proven his worth in the ranks of the Prancing Horse, the prospects were too tempting to ignore. At 40 (he will turn 40 on June 7) Sir Lewis will take the wheel of a Red, in an adventure that promises to be exciting.
He has always had a weakness for Maranello cars, just like any driver, including those who pretend otherwise. The technical guarantees obtained first from McLaren and then from Mercedes had pushed LH in other directions, but soon the marriage will be crowned. Following Toto Wolff’s exit from the team, “sinister” rumors began to circulate about an internal boycott against him. Even in Austria he appeared less dazzling than usual and opening the dance under Vasseur’s orders on the right foot would help him get back to reality.
