Sir Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams are reportedly launching an unlikely bid alongside former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton to become the new owners of Chelsea.
The Londoners have been facing uncertainty over their future since sanctions were imposed on Roman Abramovich last month by the UK government over 'clear links' to Russia president Vladimir Putin. Still on the lookout for his replacement, two of the world's biggest sports stars are joining forces with Broughton in a bid to gain control of Chelsea.
An exclusive report by Sky News has revealed the duo are prepared to pledge £10million each as part of the proposal, having already become established investors in recent years. Away from Formula One, Hamilton has supported a range of developing companies such as Zapp and Bowery Farming. Williams, the world-renowned women's tennis star, has also followed a similar path by launching a venture capital fund named 'Serena Ventures'.
