Just like Russell's F1 car, the boat also packs a punch with twin MAN V12 1550mhp engines.
Meanwhile the bow of the boat has a huge plush area for Russell and his pals to lounge in the sun when they're out on the water enjoying their time away from the track.
And the rear is fit with a garage in case anyone was hoping to bring their jet ski along with them for a change of pace on the water.

Speaking ahead of the British Grand Prix earlier this month, he said: "I want to continue with Mercedes into the future. Toto [Wolff] has never let me down, has always given me his word.
'He's also got to do what's right for his team, which includes me and the thousands of people who work for Mercedes.
'For me it's nothing to worry about, as I don't think I'll be going anywhere, and whoever my team-mate is doesn't concern me either, so I'll just focus on the driving.
'It'll happen when the time is right. I expect in the next couple of weeks. But we'll need to wait and see.

Del Boy was ringside to watch Usyk's latest four-belt crowning over But he told our Split Decision YouTube show that all the belts and cash in the world are wasted on the devout 38-year-old, while Vladimir Putin lays siege to his home and slaughters his nation.

'European amateur champion, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed cruiserweight world champion and two-time undisputed heavyweight champion. 'What more else can he do? He has whooped us all. He has taken the p***!' 5
