Sure, Mercedes and Hamilton have not started the 2022 Formula 1 season in the best of ways, perhaps the dross from last year's finale with the title ended in a sea of controversy at Max Verstappen's Red Bull certainly left wounds. But what we are about to tell is one of those "once in a lifetime" opportunities.
Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 E Performance Launch - Lewis and George
We have already told you about the Marriott Moments. and just yesterday of the similar offer of Emirates to use Skywards loyalty program points differently. With this announcement, however, the Bonvoy program makes available one of those never-before-seen opportunities: to don the Mercedes Petronas team uniform and experience the world's most iconic GP amidst the stars.
What the package includes
The package is now available at Marriott Bonvoy Moments, the exclusive platform for Marriott Bonvoy members where they can use points earned from daily travel and activities to access VIP experiences around the world. Members can use their points in an auction to win the unforgettable prize, which includes:
- Access to the penthouse of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. in Monaco on Saturday's qualifying day, with a view of the circuit's starting straight and a chance to mingle with team personnel
- An exclusive overnight stay on the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team's yacht, Liquid Sky, for the member and his guest. Liquid Sky has hosted team drivers and other legendary F1 personalities.
- A chance to be on the three-deck yacht on Race Day Sunday, offering an excellent view of the race along the tobacconist's corner, indoor spaces with seating and screens, and all-inclusive food and drinks
- Four-night stay at the JW Marriott Cannes Check-in Thursday, May 26, 2022 and check-out Monday, May 30, 2022
Obviously such an experience is priceless, and the auction, which expires at the end of April, will not be cheap either, but we are talking about a single ticket available only to 2 lucky holders of a fair amount of Bonvoy points. Or alternatively a large sum of Membership Rewards points to be converted into Marriott loyalty program points.
