Formula 1 star Sir Lewis Hamilton has been asked about the possibility of launching a joint takeover bid of Manchester United with British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The seven-time F1 champion, who drives for Mercedes, was previously named as part of Sir Martin Broughton's consortium, who were keen on purchasing Chelsea earlier this year, despite the Briton previously declaring himself to be an Arsenal fan.
Tennis star Serena Williams was also set to join Hamilton in joining Broughton's consortium, with reports suggesting that the pair had pledged to invest £10m each after becoming established investors in recent years.
