Lewis Hamilton says involvement in Chelsea takeover would be 'dream'

Lewis Hamilton said it would be a dream to be a part of something great at the club.

Hamilton said that the team is one of the biggest in the world.

Sir Martin took time to speak to me on the phone and explain to me his and his team's goals if they were to win the bid, which was incredibly exciting and very much aligned with my values.

Hamilton said they spoke about Williams involvement. I told her I was going to be involved and she was happy to join.

Lord Coe is a member of the Broughton consortium, which is one of three groups that are in the running to purchase the club.

• Three bidders remain - but who is best placed to purchase Chelsea?

The club has been granted a licence by the UK government since Roman Abramovich's links to Putin were brought to the attention of the government.

Hamilton and Williams, who would not have a say in footballing decisions, have been involved in the bid from the beginning.

I have been a football fan since I was a kid. Hamilton played on the school team and has been to many games.

I wanted to fit in and the kids supported different teams. When I was younger, I switched teams and my sister punched me, so I became a supporter of the other team.

My uncle Terry is a big fan of the Blues and I have been to many games with him.

I wanted to be the best player for the team. I was trying out for a team but ended up in a race. I could only imagine being a part of a team, and that is the most exciting part.
