F1: Lewis Hamilton bids to buy soccer club

F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams are committing $13.1 million each to one of the bids vying to become the new owners of Chelsea Football Club according to Sky Sports.

The sports stars will join a bid led by former British Airways chairman Martin Broughton, which also includes Canada’s Rogers family, Centaurus Capital LP founder John Arnold, and Taiwan’s Tsai family.

Bids for the club are currently being considered by Chelsea’s advisers, before a preferred bidder is proposed to the government.
