F1 champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are reportedly exploring the possibility of owning MotoGP teams.
Formula 1 champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are considering owning MotoGP teams. Ex-Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner will take over the Tech3 KTM MotoGP team from 2026 after Liberty Media’s acquisition of Dorna Sports. Both drivers have expressed their interest in motorbike racing publicly. With factory teams reluctant to sell, buying a satellite team seems the most feasible option. Sources state that representatives of Hamilton and Verstappen have contacted private MotoGP teams about potential ownership. Verstappen’s camp has engaged with LCR, while Hamilton’s representative was turned down by Gresini Racing last year. Hamilton’s growing sports ownership portfolio includes a part of the NFL’s Denver Broncos and potential backing from TWG Motorsports for a new Cadillac team in F1.
