For almost a week now we have been talking about the worlds of world soccer and Formula 1 colliding thanks to Neymar Jr. The Brazilian star took a trip to Monaco to witness racing in the streets of the principality. Now, as it turns out, Neymar has developed a taste for it. The Brazilian took a trip to his old home Barcelona and made an uneventful Thursday a little more exciting. Although more than anyone else, the Brazilian had an exciting day, thanks to his friend Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes man invited his friend to the race after accidentally ignoring him in Monaco. Although, despite Hamilton’s hospitality, Neymar couldn’t help but crib about a minor inconvenience.

Hamilton helped Neymar tick a box on his bucket list and gave him an experience most can only dream about. Hamilton posted about his experience on his Instagram as well after the Thursday catchup. The unique opportunity Neymar got was to sit in an F1 car’s cockpit. Neymar slipped into Hamilton’s customized congested space, which costs over $15 million.

In the video posted by the Mercedes man, the Brit is heard mocking Neymar saying, “Your a** is so big.” as Neymar struggles to fit in the cockpit. The Brazilian attested to the fact on his Instagram story. He shared Hamilton’s post on his story and confessed, “It’s not easy.”
