Lewis Hamilton has never in his life shied away from a challenge. The social activist and current biggest F1 celebrity have occasionally challenged the FIA’s rules, but this time the billionaire has asked Charles Leclerc to take on an off-track challenge. The seven-time champion, who recently celebrated his birthday in Antarctica and is still having fun at the south pole, has presented a challenge to Charles Leclerc, who has attempted to make the off-season the most exciting of all after a demanding training camp in the Italian Dolomite Mountains.

Charles Leclerc enjoys NBA is a widely known fact. He recently was spotted at the basketball court with Pierre Gasly in Paris. The NBA is something that the two frequently watch. It was fantastic to witness the interactions between the F1 drivers and Chicago Bulls hero Noah. And Tony Parker, a four-time NBA champion, joined Charles and Pierre in shooting baskets. For any F1 driver, such events are uncommon. Joakim and Tony, though, were mostly in charge of the NBA Paris courts. Leclerc and Gasly made every effort to compete with the seasoned talents meanwhile.

However, Leclerc, at last, felt that he should return to driving as on his Instagram post he wrote, “Let’s just say better stick to driving. Had a great time though @nba.” Hamilton, who is also a devoted sports lover, closely watched the game that took place in Paris. The seven-time champion took no time in challenging Charles Leclerc and commented, “Let’s play.”

Although the seven-time World Champion is still entirely focused on his Formula 1 project with Mercedes, he has been expanding his business activities in recent years. And now he’s aiming to buy a part in Manchester United.

Lewis Hamilton’s new Business Ventures

As a part-owner of the NFL team the Denver Broncos, Hamilton has recently demonstrated his active involvement in the development of business, which has extended to the sports industry. According to The Mirror, Hamilton’s name has come into play as a result of the infamous Glazer family, who owns Chelsea’s Premier League rival Manchester United, now appears willing to give up at least some of their ownership of the club.

Hamilton’s previous remarks on the subject also imply that, if Ratcliffe does make an offer, he may join the effort as well. Hamilton said, “Jim’s part boss but partner I’d say we’re more partners because we’re in this together and I hope in future to do something with Jim and build with him. I don’t know where that will be or what that will be, so I can’t really say.”

Adding further he said, ” I haven’t had a call from him asking if I want to be involved in [a United takeover bid] just yet, but I do want to get more and more involved in teams because I really do believe in black ownership there is a lack of it in sports and black equity. Again, there is a real lack of that.”
