Lewis Hamilton and his friends paid $2.2 Million to charter the yacht

The Superyacht was originally designed for Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen who was looking for a vessel that could take him to most remote regions of the world.

Allen wanted a yacht that was not short on luxury but had a very reduced impact on the environment. Lurssen, a shipbuilding company manufactured the yacht and named it ‘Octopus.’

As per the latest reports, one week of the charter for the Octopus costs around $2.2 Million, excluding the fuel expenses and other supplies.

A Superyacht vlogger eSysman revealed that it was the Octopus that the Silver Arrows ace along with his friends had boarded for their trip.

Toto Wolff waiting for Hamilton’s winter travels to end to discuss a new deal

With Hamilton’s current contract coming to an end in the 2023 season, there have been a lot of talks about his next deal with the team.

Hamilton had previously stated his willingness to stay with the team for five more years but no papers have been inked so far.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has been cautious about releasing a deadline but providing a further update on the situation, Wolff has now said that both parties have a full year to go.

And it is just a matter of the Briton returning to Europe from his winter trips so that they can have a chat and finalise.
