Lewis Hamilton could join Sir Jim Ratcliffe as Mercedes part-owner confirms interest to buy Manchester United
Sir Jimও Ratcliffe has confirmed his interest in purchasing the football club from the Glazer family.
Ratcliffe also owns a huge stake in Mercedes’ F1 team so could be joined in the co✅nsortium by Hamilton, the reports.
They tried and failed to buy Chelsea last year.
Hamilton has been building up a remarkable set of investments outside of his F1 𒁃career, including a stakඣe in NFL team the Denver Broncos.
Ratcliffe, as INEOS CEO, owns 33 percent of Mercedes’ F1 team. Toto Wolff, the team principal, owns 33 percent. Anಞd Daimle♋r, who own Mercedes-Benz, have the remaining third.
“If the c🌄lub is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer,” Ratcliffe’s spokesperson told The Times last year.
Hamilton said at the time: “Jim’s part boss but partner - I’d say we’re more partners 𓆉because we’re in this together, and I hope in future to do something with Jim and build with him. I don’t know where that will be or what that will be, so I can’t really say.
“I haven’t had a call from him asking if I want to be involved in that just yet. But I do want to get more and more involved in teams because I really do believe in black ownership, there is a lack of it in sports. An🌞d black equity, again, there is a real lack of that.”
James was a sporꦺts journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American sports, to football, to F1.
