But the seven-time F1 world champion plans to extend it to 30 additional outlets. Currently, Neat Burger’s menu includes burgers, fries, and shakes, as well as a special Filet-No-Fish vegan sandwich.

Lewis Hamilton wants to buy Chelsea FC

It seems F1 isn’t enough for Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Now he wants to get his hands on football. However, rather than playing, he could own a football team. Hamilton had ventured into music and fashion before moving into the restaurant business. And now owning a football team seems like the next step for the seven-time world champion.

Amid the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russian owner Roman Abramovich is looking to sell football club Chelsea FC. Seeing the opportunity, the seven-time F1 world champion and his friend, tennis superstar Serena Williams, teamed up with British businessman Martin Broughton to buy the club.

Hamilton’s spokesperson reported, “We can confirm Lewis has joined Sir Martin Broughton’s bid.”

If the deal goes through, Sir Lewis Hamilton will become the owner of one of the best football clubs in the world, which even won the 2021 UEFA Champions League.
