Lewis Hamilton, the famous Formula 1 driver, recently had an exciting experience driving Valentino Rossi’s Yamaha M1. This exciting encounter took place shortly before Rossi had the opportunity to test Hamilton’s Formula 1 car, the Mercedes W08.
During an interview, Hamilton expressed his long-time passion for motorcycles. He revealed that in his youth, he had a strong desire to race motorcycles rather than cars. However, his father, concerned about the dangers involved, steered him toward four-wheeling. Hamilton admitted that this decision turned out to be the right one, as it allowed him to achieve great success in the world of Formula 1. However, his love for motorcycles continues, and he currently owns a supermoto and enjoys competing to track days. This experience gives him a unique perspective on the sport.
It should be noted that Hamilton explored team ownership in various sports, not just automobiles. He was the proud owner of the X44 team, which competed in the Extreme E electric off-road racing series. In the 2022 season, X44 emerged victorious, taking the title with the help of stage winner of the Dakar Rally, Cristina Gutiérrez, and the nine-time world rally champion, Sébastien Loeb.
Additionally, Hamilton has expanded his ownership activities beyond automobiles. Recently, he became part of the ownership group that acquired the Denver Broncos, an American football team. This investment opportunity saw him partner with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and join the investment group led by Walmart heir Rob Walton. The Denver Broncos, who previously won the Super Bowl in 2014, are now under the ownership of this influential group.
