It’s no secret that seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is a huge motorcycle fan, and he’s pretty handy on them, too. As an avid two-wheeled track day enthusiast, owner of an impressive bike collection, and even helped design a limited-edition MV Agusta range.
Oh, and he rode a MotoGP bike with Valentino Rossi a while back before giving Rossi the keys to his F1 machine to spin a few laps.
According to Hamilton, “I have always loved bikes… When I was younger, I wanted to race bikes, not cars, but my dad wouldn’t let me – he said they were too dangerous… He got me into four wheels rather than two. It was the right choice because if I was racing during the time Vale was there, I wouldn’t have been so successful.”

Rumors have been floating around since the start of the Dutch TT weekend at Assen that Hamilton would like to acquire Gresini from its current team boss, Nadia Padovani, and one of Hamilton’s inner circle was believed to have been in attendance with Gresisni at Assen.
Now, if you’re a MotoGP fan, as Hamilton is, Gresini is one of the most interesting teams you can set your sights on. Its history dates back to the mid-1990s and featured riders such as Daijiro Kato, Toni Elias, and Jorge Martin in the lower classes, and MotoGP legends like Sete Gibernau, Marco Melandri, Simoncelli, and most recently Marc Marquez.
But something tells me there’s a lot more than Hamilton’s love of motorcycles fueling this decision, and it rhymes with “smiberty mebia”.
