Neither F1 nor MotoGP are any strangers to ridiculous rumors, a fact that anyone who's paid any attention to either (or both) series can tell you from experience. And you don't get to be a seven-time F1 world championship driver like Lewis Hamilton if you haven't also dealt with your fair share of rumors throughout your career.
But it looks like at least one particularly persistent rumor involving one of the UK's greatest gifts to modern F1 might have legs.
Now, ever since talks about F1 owner Liberty Media also acquiring MotoGP started in earnest, there's been speculation about Hamilton entering the MotoGP paddock, most likely as a team owner. That's to say nothing of the potential spectacle on offer if a F1/MotoGP double header was to ever materialize.
Earlier in 2024, there was a whiff of a rumor that Hamilton could be in talks to buy Gresini. A few months later, Hamilton was again linked to potential MotoGP team ownership. This time, it was with the struggling Honda team, which is definitely due for a turnaround in its fortunes after a lackluster season.
