Lewis Hamilton is not currently a part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid to buy Manchester United, according to the PA News Agency.
Ratcliffe this week became the first interested party to make a public declaration about his plans to submit a bid for the club. United were put up for sale in November by the Glazer Family after a long period in which a large section of the club's fanbase have demanded change.
Formula 1 star Hamilton knows the British billionaire well – Ratcliffe is a part owner of the Mercedes F1 team. He has also shown plenty of interest in sports team ownership, having already purchased a stake in the NFL franchise the Denver Broncos, while he also joined Sir Martin Broughton's bid to buy Chelsea last year.
