Lewis Hamilton<\/a> also put his name to an ultra-rare special edition MV Agusta, who was owned by KTM until its recent financial crisis forced it to sell off its shares in the Italian brand.<\/p>\nThe current Ferrari driver has been linked to MotoGP team ownership in the wake of Liberty Media\u2019s buyout of the series in 2024.<\/p>\n
He was initially linked to the Gresini squad, though the Italian outfit repeatedly denied this.<\/p>\n

Later in 2024, Liberty Media confirmed Hamilton had expressed an interest in team investment in MotoGP.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Hamilton was also linked to becoming a potential investor in KTM\u2019s MotoGP project as the parent company navigated its way through its financial crisis.<\/p>\n
While his links to MotoGP lessened as 2025 wore on, Hamilton\u2019s love of two wheels remains strong.<\/p>\n
On his Instagram, Hamilton posted a series of pictures of himself riding a 2024-spec KTM 250 XC-F.<\/p>\n

Hamilton is preparing to embark on his second season as a Ferrari driver, but does so off the back of his worst season ever in F1.<\/p>\n
Though he finished one spot higher in the championship than he managed in 2024 with Mercedes, Hamilton won no races and failed to reach the podium in any grand prix.<\/p>\n
It was his third winless season in the last four years, with Hamilton almost 90 points down on team-mate Charles Leclerc in the championship.<\/p>\n
Ferrari ended the year fourth in the constructors\u2019 standings.<\/p>\n
