Lewis Hamilton sells $43.9 million NYC penthouse for $49.5 million
Lewis Hamilton bought the 8,908-square-foot Penthouse H at 443 Greenwich Street for $43.99 million in 2017 but never lived there. He listed it for $57 million in 2019 before it entered contract at $49.5 million in 2021. The sale gave him a gross gain of about $5.5 million, while Jennifer Gates was later linked to the property.
Max Verstappen ended his pole drought in the high heat of Sepang, Malaysia, securing his first pole position of the season for the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix. The Dutch driver, currently sixth in the drivers' championship, set the fastest lap time of 1:35.130 during the final minute of qualifying. Verstappen led the field, followed by Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari by just 0.298 seconds.
Isack Hadjar rounded out the top three for Red Bull, but will be demoted five places on the starting grid due to a penalty for using too many engine components. Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes, Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, and Lando Norris of McLaren led the rest of the grid. This marks the first time Verstappen has started at the front since last season's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Verstappen expressed his excitement, stating, "It's fantastic... I'm happy with today and will try to win tomorrow." Meanwhile, Hamilton credited his quick flying lap for securing his best starting spot since winning in Catalonia in June. The Bahrain Grand Prix is being held in Malaysia due to disruptions in the Gulf region. The session began in high humidity, with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman leading out for Haas.
Verstappen initially set the pace with a 1:36.447 lap, but after taking things slower to cool his tyres, he ultimately claimed pole position.
