Whispers gathered pace over the final Formula 1 round of the yea🐽r, at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, that 𓄧Hamilton could step in to solve the money worries at KTM.

Hamilton had previousl🌠y made it clear that he aspired to owning a MotoGP team.

But it seems that KTM are not the te♋am he will attempt to buy into.

“Never in a million🌠 years,” one source from the manufacturer in Austriౠa told .

Tech3 KTM’s Herve Poncharal added: “These rumours are compl𝓡etely unfounded.

“There’s not a shred of truth in them. And I assume this also appli🃏es to tꦦhe factory team.”

A๊nother KTM boss told GPOne: “We read the Hamilton story with astoni🐟shment!”

F1 fans might smirk that KTM are sponsored by Red Bull, who are Ha♚milton’s big rivals in his championship. Hamilton is associated to Monster, Red Bull’s rival energy drink.

“I'm interested in the potential growth of the sport. But I haven't looked that far in🃏to it, just yet.

“But anything is possible. I'm definitely interested, as I said before, about equityꦰ. The Denve🅷r Broncos was already a first step into team ownership.

﷽“I think over the next fivಌe to ten years there will be a little bit more. We'll see.”
