Max Verstappen questions Lewis Hamilton's Chelsea takeover investment amid 'love' for Arsenal

Max Verstappen has questioned Sir Lewis Hamilton's involvement in Sir Martin Broughton's Chelsea takeover bid. The seven-time racing world champion and Serena Williams are said to have pledged £10million each towards Broughton's consortium, according to Sky News.

The two international sportspeople are joining the likes of Lord Sebastian Coe in the bid. Former Liverpool chairman Broughton will be hoping Hamilton's inclusion will put him on pole position to take over from Roman Abramovich.

Broughton is joined by Steve Pagliuca and Todd Boehly in the bidding race, with the fourth party, the Ricketts Family, dropping out after failing to table a final bid before the deadline late last week. The Chelsea takeover comes after owner Roman Abramovich decided to put the club up for sale.
