Lewis Hamilton’s Father Anthony Spotted With Disgraced F1 Billionaire After Allegedly Helping the Fraudster Protect His $1,200,000,000 Wealth

Lewis Hamilton’s father, Anthony, once helped secure a haven for disgraced F1 billionaire Vijay Mallya. This is believed to have happened after the 67-year-old was accused of going into exile after committing fraud in India. Even though the former Force India F1 owner’s relationship with the sport ended long ago, it seems that Anthony shares a strong bond with the disgraced billionaire and was also caught hanging out with him recently. This also happens after a shocking Business F1 report claimed that Anthony helped Mallya protect his $1,200,000,000 net worth.

Before being accused of fraud, Mallya was the co-owner of the Force India team from 2007 to 2018. And it is during this time that he is believed to have developed a friendship with Anthony.

The Business F1 report adds that Anthony was the fixer for Mallya and that the disgraced billionaire also formed a company called the Hamilton Management Group. Moreover, when Mallya was shockingly accused of fraud, Anthony is believed to have helped him secure a home. Anthony helped Mallya purchase a huge mansion in the English town of Tewin to keep the Indian fugitive protected.

Mallya enjoys himself with Anthony Hamilton amidst extradition threats

As the post below shows, Vijay Mallya wants himself during the British GP weekend with Anthony Hamilton. The 67-year-old is admiring Lewis Hamilton’s dog, Roscoe.

And it is pertinent to note that Mallya is doing all this amidst the threat of extradition back to India. Multiple reports have claimed that Anthony once owned the mansion in which the 67-year-old now lives.

Moreover, as the Business F1 report, Mallya has several guards and dogs to protect him. And that is not it, as the report also shockingly claims several women enter his house at night. All these things suggest that Mallya continues to live his lavish lifestyle.

Vijay Mallya has been instrumental in Force India’s success

Even though Vijay Mallya has been deemed a fraudster recently, he was instrumental in Force India’s success. He and Dutch businessman Michiel Mol led a consortium to repurchase the Spyker F1 team in 2008 for $96.4 million.

Since taking ownership of the team, Mallya has helped Force India clinch six podiums and one pole position, among other impressive stats. Moreover, he also played a key role in providing a platform to the likes of Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg, among others, to advance their careers.

And despite having been sidelined from F1 since 2018, he seems to be interested in the sport. Since Mallya currently resides in the UK, he attended last year’s British GP and chatted with Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer.
