Lewis Hamilton held “concrete talks” about a buy-in with KTღM, thཧe brand’s boss claims.

KTM are stru🔯ggling against a massive 🗹financial problem which has erupted since the conclusion of the MotoGP season.

They insist that despite a hefty list of creditors, and debts that rise into the billions, it will not prevent their racing programme꧅ in 20🐠25.

But they have welcomed tal꧃ks with potential investors, including Formula 1 superstar Hamilton.

"I can only say that♑ we had very interesting discussions with his manꦰagement," Pit Beirer told .

"𒆙It's no secret that Lewis Hamilton is interested in MotoGP and is thinking about his🤪 own team.

“Here, too, there are concrete talks."

Hamilton was inextricably linked to sponsor Monster during his Mercedes tenure, which is ending ahead of a 2025 link-♓up with Ferrari. Their rival energy drink, Red 🉐Bull, is a big backer of KTM.

However, Bierer confirmed: "Anyone who wants to work with us knows about the proximity – Red Bull and KTM are𒉰 inseparable. That has not been an issue in the ▨negotiations so far.”

He added:  "An investor is something different from a sponso♔r.

"We alsoಌ work with our sponsors in a very strong partnership. When you have partners at the table who give you money for such a great project, they get involved. That should also be posi⛎tive.

“When strong partners sit at the table and think, good solutions come to light together. So it's clear that such people will hav♏e a certain say."

Hamilton was linked with a financial intere🃏st in the Gresini Ducati team earꦦlier this season.

Although it♒ ultimately came to nothing, the F1 star admitted his interꦓest in MotoGP, and potentially investing in a team.

Hamiওlton has already invested in a sports team - the Denver Broncos.

KTM insist they are of interest to investors🤪 because of Liberty Media’s takeover of MotoGP.

T💎hat takeover remains subject to regulator approval.
