Lewis Hamilton held “concrete talks” 𒀰abou꧂t a buy-in with KTM, the brand’s boss claims.

KTM are stru🐼ggling against a massive financial problem which has erupted since the conc🧔lusion of the MotoGP season.

They insist that de𒐪spite a hefty list of creditors, and debts that rise into the billions, it will not prevent their racing programme in 2025.

But they have welcomed talks with potential 🍷💝investors, including Formula 1 superstar Hamilton.

"I can only♎ say that we had very interesting discussions with his management," Pit Beirer told .

"It's n🌺o s꧒ecret that Lewis Hamilton is interested in MotoGP and is thinking about his own team.

“Here, too, there are concrete talks."

Hamilton was inextricabl🌠y link🦩ed to sponsor Monster during his Mercedes tenure, which is ending ahead of a 2025 link-up with Ferrari. Their rival energy drink, Red Bull, is a big backer of KTM.

However, Bierer confirmed: "Anyone who wants to work꧃ with us knows about the proximity – Red Bull and KTM are inseparable. That has not been an issue in the negotiations so far.”

He added:  "An investor🔜 is something different from a sponsor.

"We also work with our spons🗹ors in a very strong partnership. When you have partners at the table who give you money for such a great project, they get in♔volved. That should also be positive.

“When strong partners sit at the table♒ and think, good solutions come to light together. So it's clear that such people will havඣe a certain say."

Hamilton was linked with a financial interest in the Gresini Ducati team earlier thওis season.
