On Thursday afternoon, Mercedes employees in Brackley were reportedly informed that Hamilton would be leaving halfway through the two-year deal he signed in 2023. The 39-year-old is expected to end his illustrious F1 career at Ferrari and has expressed an interest in pursuing business avenues.<\/p>\n
INEOS, co-founded by United’s new part-owner Ratcliffe, is a one-third shareholder of Mercedes along with Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Toto Wolff. During the Glazer family’s strategic review, Hamilton was asked about the potential investment of the 71-year-old tycoon, Ratcliffe, in Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Hamilton revealed, “I am very close with Jim, so I am aware of where he is at [with United]. We talk a lot about football as he is very passionate about it.<\/p>\n
We have great discussions about what his team is doing, we talk about how Arsenal [Hamilton’s team] is playing. Obviously, he is from Manchester, so that is his dream home, where he comes from.<\/p>\n
But there is no further information I can give you on that.” Ratcliffe outbid Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani to reach a \u00a31.3 billion deal with the Glazers, gaining a 29% stake and total control of the club’s football operations.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has previously stated that he sees Ratcliffe as a partner rather than a boss, leaving the door open for potential future involvement in his United investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
