Lewis Hamilton gave Neymar a grand welcome into the Mercedes garage ahead of the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix. After making an appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix, the PSG footballer visited the F1 paddock this week as well. This time, however, he was given a ‘quick seat fit’ in the Mercedes W14.

The two sportsmen spent quality time together before the Spanish Grand Prix. Videos of Hamilton and Neymar greeting each other were seen on Puma Motorsport’s social media platforms. The Brazilian was also seen getting cozy in Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes W14. The Brazilian sat in a car that cost the Silver Arrows around $14,000,000 to build

Lewis Hamilton and Neymar have known each other for a long time. However, after the Brit gave the cold shoulder to Neymar after greeting him during the Monaco GP track walk, this seems like a good apology by Hamilton. Neymar was photographed with several Puma-sponsored drivers, including Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, George Russell, and Zhou Guanyu.

Neymar was invited as Red Bull’s guest for the Monaco Grand Prix. While attending an interview in the F1 paddock, Neymar spotted his friend Lewis approaching in his direction. Neymar decided to gain the attention of Hamilton and stepped out of the interview. This was to no avail as Lewis Hamilton whooshed passed on his electric scooter and left Neymar hanging.

This incident took no time to become a meme over the internet. After the race on Sunday, Hamilton, via his Instagram story, said, “My bad, bro,” referring to the snub. The Brazilian striker, however, showed no respite and replied to his story with a, “F**k you.” All done in the name of banter, Hamilton surely amended his mistake.

Neymar and Lewis Hamilton have known each other since 2016. They are often seen together at several events, such as NBA games, fashion shows, and even F1 races. Both Hamilton and Neymar are immensely popular in the country of Brazil. The two of them are frequently seen congratulating each other’s victories through social media. Lewis Hamilton has quite a fan following in Brazil. In 2022, Lewis Hamilton was given honorary citizenship in the nation for which Neymar conveyed his support.
