Lewis Hamilton, the renowned Formula 1 driver, recently had an exciting experience riding Valentino Rossi’s Yamaha M1. This thrilling encounter took place just before Rossi had the opportunity to test Hamilton’s Formula 1 car, the W08.
During an interview, Hamilton expressed his long-standing passion for motorcycles. He revealed that in his younger years, he had a strong desire to race on bikes instead of cars. However, his father, concerned about the dangers involved, directed him towards four wheels. Hamilton admitted that this decision turned out to be the right one as it allowed him to achieve great success in the world of Formula 1. However, his love for bikes continues, and he currently owns a supermoto and enjoys participating in track days. This experience gives him a unique perspective on the sport.
It’s worth noting that Hamilton has explored team ownership in various sports, not just in motorsport. He was the proud owner of the X44 team, which competed in the electric off-road racing series Extreme E. In the 2022 season, X44 emerged victorious, clinching the title with the help of stage winner of the Dakar Rally, Cristina Gutiérrez, and nine-time world rally champion, Sébastien Loeb.
Furthermore, Hamilton has expanded his ownership ventures beyond motorsport. He recently became part of the ownership group that acquired the Denver Broncos, an American football team. This investment opportunity saw him collaborating with former United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, and joining the investment group led by Walmart heir, Rob Walton. The Denver Broncos, who previously won the Super Bowl in 2014, are now under the ownership of this influential group.
Young Brazilian driver achieves spectacular victory in the Formula 1 Grand Prix
In the last Sunday, the young Brazilian pilot, Pedro Silva, made history by achieving a spectacular victory in the Formula 1 Grand Prix. With only 22 years old, Silva showed an impressive performance and left behind the more experienced drivers of the category.
The race was marked by a lot of excitement and adrenaline. Since the start, Silva showed his determination and skill by overtaking his opponents and taking the lead of the race. With impeccable driving, he managed to maintain the position until the final flag.
In an interview after the race, Silva showed his emotions about the achievement and thanked his team for the excellent work. “I am very happy with this victory. It is a dream come true. I want to thank everyone who supported me and believed in me. Without my team, this would not be possible,” declared the pilot.
With this victory, Pedro Silva becomes the youngest Brazilian pilot to win a Formula 1 race. His promising performance has caught the attention of big teams and sponsors, who are already keeping an eye on the talent of the young Brazilian.
The next stage of the Formula 1 World Championship will be held next month, and all eyes will be on Pedro Silva. Will he be able to repeat the feat and achieve another victory? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the future of Brazilian motorsport is in good hands.
