Diddy, Puff Daddy, P.Diddy… regardless of what Sean Combs goes by today, he’s rumored to be looking into purchasing a Formula 1 team. Apparently Combs and driver Lewis Hamilton, a sensational rookie driver, discussed the rapper buying into a race team.
The London Times reports that Combs was at a launch for his new fragrance – “Unforgivable” – in London, when he made an informal announcement that he is seriously pursuing ownership of a Formula 1 team. He’s hardly the first Hollywood star to have expressed interest in racing, although his automotive interests prior to the comment have mostly been limited to his line of Sean John-branded custom wheels. No word yet on when to expect chrome 24″ wheels on Formula 1 cars.
Combs and Hamilton are rumored to have spent a good bit of the night discussing a potential F1 team. Hamilton races for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and is currently leading the series – an impressive feat given his rookie status.
