This is what Mercedes driver George Russell's new yacht looks like

On the Pershing X account, they marked the company's 40th anniversary. Russell was welcomed there: "New enthusiasts for Pershing joined as well, such as Formula 1 driver George Russell, who recently became the owner of a fantastic Pershing 6X." Russell had to dig deep into his pockets for the yacht. He had to pay 3.6 million for the boat. That's considerably less than Verstappen, who had to pay over 12 million.

For the 3.6 million, Russell gets a luxurious yacht. There are two decks on the ship. The ship is almost nineteen meters long and almost five meters wide. It has three sleeping areas. On the boat, Russell can entertain up to fourteen guests and there are no fewer than three bathrooms available.

The yacht is equipped with a V12 engine boasting no less than 1550 HP and can reach up to a maximum of 48 knots, which is approximately 90 kilometers per hour. The 'cruising speed' is about 75 kilometers per hour, and the fuel tank holds up to 3200 liters of gasoline, and the water tank has room for 740 liters. To reduce the total weight, carbon was used to build it.

Russell is not the only Formula 1 star with a superyacht. As mentioned, Verstappen also has a significant yacht at his disposal, you can read more about the 'Unleash the Lion yacht' in this article. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff also owns a yacht. Check out this yacht here.
