Lewis Hamilton said it would be the "ultimate dream" to be part of "something great" at Chelsea after backing Sir Martin Broughton's bid to buy the Premier League club.

The seven-time Formula 1 world champion has pledged investment into the bid, along with 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams.

"Chelsea is one of the biggest teams in the world," said Hamilton. "When I heard about the opportunity, I was like wow, this is a great opportunity to be part of something so great.

"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."
