Video: Verstappen picks up the keys for new £10million superyacht

The new superyacht belonging to F1 champion Max Verstappen has been sighted for the first time.

It emerged last week that Verstappen was awaiting the arrival of a new luxurious yacht, priced at over £10 million (€12m; $12.33m).

The yacht in question is a 33-metre Mangusta GranSport 33 and has been named ‘Unleash the Lion’ by Verstappen, an expression associated with the Dutchman during his successful years in F1.

The order for the yacht was placed two years ago, meaning the four-time champion has had to wait a considerable length of time to get his hands on the commodity.

As well as his superyacht, Verstappen also has a private plane in his collection which he uses to travel to and from F1 races.

Verstappen and partner Kelly Piquet were spotted last week at the Mangusta shipyard in Italy, viewing the huge yacht now owned by Verstappen.

The impressive vessel reportedly features five staterooms and can accommodate up to 12 guests.

Three cabins are also kept separate and are used for crew members onboard.

Mangusta yachts are renowned for their luxurious status, with football star Cristiano Ronaldo known to be a previous customer of the company.
