Lewis Hamilton had a victory on the track Sunday, and now he's got an even bigger win in his bank account -- the Formula One superstar just sold his NYC penthouse for an insane $49.5 MILLION ... resulting in a $5.6 million profit!!
The 3-floor apartment is insane -- it has more than 12,000 square-foot of space in total, has a fully tricked out kitchen, private elevator and 20-foot tall ceilings.
36-year-old Hamilton -- who came in first at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix over the weekend -- bought the 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom Tribeca pad back in 2017 .
