Lewis Hamilton buys stunning £32m New York penthouse in celeb hotspot
Five-time world champion now has two incredible homes in Manhattan as part of a growing property portfolio
LEWIS HAMILTON has forked out £32million to buy a New York penthouse in a celebrity hotspot.
The five-time Formula One world champ, 34, now has two Manhattan flats after buying a similar property for £34m two years ago.
Speedster Hamilton's new pad is in a condo project part-owned by NFL great Tom Brady and his model wife Gisele Bundchen.
His 6,547 square-foot home included a huge outdoor area and has views of the Hudson River, as well as a swimming pool, fitness centre, squash court and library.
Hamilton's other NYC investment is a block to the East of his latest purchase and boasts a wine cellar.
The Mercedes ace's neighbours include Jennifer Lawrence and Mike Myers.
A fifth title means Hamilton is in an elite club, with only Michael Schumacher (seven) and Juan Manuel Fangio (five) matching his achievement.
He has been keeping relatively quiet since being crowned although caused controversy when he refereed to hometown Stevenage as a "slum".
Hamilton has since apologised for his comment - insisting he did not mean to cause offence.
The talented racer was aiming to reflect on his journey to superstar status from relatively humble beginnings.
