Reports emerged last week that seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is part of a large consortium, which also includes tennis great Serena Williams, to purchase Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League.

The consortium to puchase the soccer team is being led by Sir Martin Broughton and the group wants to take over the club that is being sold by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, following revelations of his connections to Vladimir Putin. Chelsea is one of the top teams in the world. It is currently third in the 20-team English Premier League standings.
