Lewis Hamilton cheers on his Denver Broncos for the first time after becoming a co-owner

Lewis Hamilton cheered on his Denver Broncos team from the stands for the first time Monday night.

The Formula One star became co-owner of the three-time Super Bowl champions back in August and was able to show his support in Los Angeles as the team faced the Chargers.

Hamilton posted a picture of SoFi Stadium onto his Instagram story with the caption: ‘Watching my team for the first time. So excited to be he here. Let’s go @broncos.’

The team also shared a clip the seven-time world champion recorded on their official Twitter account.

With the field behind him, Hamilton said:  ‘Hey, what’s up Broncos Country, Lewis Hamilton here. Here to support the team. Go Broncos.’

Hamilton was seen enjoying the AFC West matchup alongside the Walton Penner Ownership Group, including Rob Walton, Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner.

Hamilton joined the Broncos franchise as part of the Walton-Penner family takeover of the team two months ago.

A statement by Rob Walton, on behalf of the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group, read: ‘We’re delighted to welcome seven-time Formula One world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton to our ownership group.

‘He is a champion competitor who knows what it takes to lead a winning team and a fierce advocate for global equality, including in his own sport.

‘With over 100 race wins, Lewis is considered the most successful driver of all time.

‘His resilient spirit and standard of excellence will be an asset to the ownership group and the Broncos organization.’

Hamilton shared his excitement at becoming a part of the Broncos team by writing on his Twitter profile at the time, alongside a photo of his dog Roscoe in Broncos accessories: ‘Excited to join an incredible group of owners and become a part of the @Broncos story!!

‘Honored to work with a world class team and serve as an example of the value of more diverse leadership across all sports. Roscoe already thinks he made the team.’

The Broncos officially sold to a group of Walmart heirs for a record price of $4.65billion on August 9.

It wasn’t just an NFL record, but a sports record, eclipsing Steve Cohen’s $2.4bn purchase of the New York Mets and David Tepper’s $2.3bn acquisition of the Carolina Panthers.

The Walton Penner Ownership Group’s bid was approved by unanimous vote of NFL owners at a meeting, according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

The ownership group also includes minority owners like former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Hamilton.

Forbes identified other bidders as Josh Harris, who is part of the ownership group of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils; Jose E. Feliciano, one of the founders of Clearlake Capital; and mortgage lender Mat Ishbia.

Mercedes driver Hamilton, 37, is the third limited partner brought aboard by the Walton-Penner ownership group. 

The Broncos have failed to reach the playoffs in six seasons but acquired former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks for the new season.

Wilson and Co. played out overtime after tying 16-16 in regulation time and went on to lose 19-16, while Hamilton will be back in action this weekend at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.
