While Lewis Hamilton eyes up to buy a MotoGP team, his best bet is possibly lying in front of him. KTM recently announced insolvency, as the Austrian manufacturer had been struggling with its piling liabilities on the business front.

The team is understood to be in danger and its motorsport director is aware of it. Pit Beirer subsequently stated that the discussions regarding a sale to Hamilton was on the board with concrete discussions taking place between the two parties.

"All I can say is that we have had very interesting discussions with his management. It is no secret that Lewis Hamilton is interested in MotoGP and is thinking about having his own team. There are concrete discussions here too," Pit Beirer said (as quoted by SPEEDWEEK).

Anyhow, KTM would be in dire need of an influx of cash. And it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming months.
