I’m interested in the growth of the sport, but I haven’t looked that far into it just yet. But anything is possible. I’m definitely interested in equity and the Broncos was already a first step into team ownership. I think over the next five to ten years there will be hopefully more. We’ll see where.

The 26-year-old was ecstatic with the rumors of Hamilton buying a team.

This is because the sport is growing, and for sure this is just the beginning. The future, the years that are coming next, will be really interesting for MotoGP. If someone really iconic like Hamilton wants to buy in MotoGP, it’s because something is changing and I’m really interested in that.
Jorge Martin said as quoted by The Race

Martin claimed that Hamilton’s interest reveals that the sport is growing globally. Moreover, the future of MotoGP would be quite interesting which would have tempted the 39-year-old to dwell into the prospects of buying a MotoGP team.

Despite Hamilton’s interest, Marquez would leave the Gresini Racing squad after the conclusion of the 2024 season to move to the factory Ducati team. Thus, finalizing a deal with Hamilton might take a bit longer than anticipated for the Faenza-based team.
