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

KTM are struggling against a massive financial problem which has erupted since the conclusion of the Moto💦ꦍGP season.

They insist that despite a hefty list of creditors, and debts that rise into the billions, it will not prevent their racing prograꩲmme in 2025.

But they have welcomed talks with potential investors, inc🌜luding Formula 1 superstar Hamilton.

"I can only say that we 🌺had ꧒very interesting discussions with his management," Pit Beirer told .

"It'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. Thꦏeir 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 are inseparable.🅷 That has not been an issue in the negotiations so far.”

He added:  "An i𝔍nvestor is♈ something different from a sponsor.

"We also 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 p🐼ositive.

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

Hamilton was linked with a financial interest in the Gresini 🌜Ducati team earlier this season.

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

Hamilton has a𒆙lready invested in a sports team - the Denver Broncos.

KTM insist they are of interes𝕴t to investors because of Liber✱ty Media’s takeover of MotoGP.

That takeover remains subject 🅺to regulator approval.
