Inside F1 star George Russell's new £2.2m luxury yacht with four bedrooms and garage
George Russell has purchased a stunning Pershing 6X yacht, which contains four bedrooms, a private garage for a jet ski, and plenty of room to host friends and family George Russell has splashed out on a luxurious new toy, a £2.2million Pershing 6X yacht. The 62-foot vessel can host up to 14 guests and is kitted out with all the mod cons, providing the Mercedes driver with the perfect spot for some stylish relaxation. Russell's new pride and joy, powered by twin MAN V12 1550mhp engines and capable of reaching speeds of up to 48 knots, boasts ample space to unwind on the upper deck with a massive lounger and spacious decking. Below deck, there are even more treats in store. The plush master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, and there's also a guest bedroom, complete with a double bed and a large mirror. A third room houses two single beds, allowing Russell to invite friends and family on board for extended stays. The boat also comes equipped with a compact kitchen to cater for guests, and there's an on-board garage that can house a jet ski, should the Silver Arrows racer fancy a bit of high-octane fun on the waves. The 27-year-old now joins an elite group of Formula 1 drivers who boast million-pound yachts in their collections. Max Verstappen recently snapped up a Mangusta Gransport 33, while Lewis Hamilton's Sunseeker 90 is typically moored in Monaco, reports the Express. Fernando Alonso and Charles Leclerc are also proud owners of their own nautical toys. It has often been a popular purchase for highly-paid F1 drivers over the years, given many of them live in Monaco and so already have the perfect place to keep a yacht. Meanwhile, Russell has hinted that his future with Mercedes hinges on a contract extension, especially with the upcoming technical changes in F1. Despite a standout 2025 season so far, the King's Lynn-born driver is yet to secure new terms. The situation seems entangled with Verstappen's plans, who, despite a contract with Red Bull until 2028, faces uncertainty following boss Christian Horner's exit after the British Grand Prix. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, having eyed Verstappen in 2024, continues to show interest. Russell, speaking in Austria last month, said of the situation: "As Mercedes, they want to be back on top, and if you're going to be back on top, you need to make sure you've got the best drivers, the best engineers, the best pit crew, and that's what Mercedes are chasing. So, it's only normal that conversations with the likes of Verstappen are ongoing." Should Wolff successfully court Verstappen, Russell may be left without a seat at Brackley, potentially leading to a swap with the Dutchman to maintain his position in a leading F1 team.
