Charles Leclerc and his wife Alexandra officially took delivery of a stunning new superyacht, the Riva 102' Corsaro Super, estimated at £15 million ($20 million), following the Miami Grand Prix.

It offers fans a rare look into the immense wealth and personal choices of the sport's top drivers.

• Viral Moment: The champagne-smashing video shared by Riva amassed 49,000 likes and 586,000 views, becoming a social media sensation.
• Power & Performance: Twin 2638-hp MTU engines deliver a top speed of 28 knots and cruising at 24 knots, with state-of-the-art stabilizers.
• Luxury Interior: Master suite with polished Calacatta Vagli Oro marble, premium Bang & Olufsen multimedia, Poliform furnishings, Frette linens, and Christofle tableware.
• Outdoor Living: Flybridge with open-air galley (oversized grill, induction hob, ice maker) and a 35 sqm beach club with direct sea access.
• CEO Praise: Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi said: "Charles's passion for Riva... is a testament to quality and beauty... If such a formidable driver and icon of style and elegance chooses once again one of our boats, it means that Riva offers unrivalled standards."

What's Next:

Leclerc can now enjoy his new yacht during breaks in the F1 calendar, with potential stops in Monaco and other Mediterranean ports. The vessel is likely to become a familiar sight at future Grand Prix weekends.
