Hamilton and Verstappen in sensational ‘team ownership’ move
According to reports, F1 stars Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are considering entering a new battle to own a motorsport team. With a total of 11 drivers’ world championships between them, Hamilton and Verstappen are highly successful drivers in F1 and had a fierce rivalry in the 2021 season. Verstappen came out on top that year, while Hamilton is now with Ferrari and aiming for an eighth world title, exploring ventures outside of F1. Hamilton is reportedly eyeing involvement in MotoGP in a team ownership role, with Verstappen also showing interest in a similar venture. As MotoGP is now owned by F1’s Liberty Media, there’s an expected growth in the series akin to F1’s development under the American company. Former F1 team boss Guenther Steiner has already stepped into team ownership with Tech3, and the spotlight is now on Hamilton and Verstappen potentially making similar moves with different teams.
