The F1 Grand Prix and the grand star-studded pre-race party are currently the talk of the town. Stealing the spotlight of the party was NBA giant Shaquille O’Neal who had a fun encounter with a British former racing driver. After posing for photographs with the Red Bulls, O’Neal conveyed his support for Lewis Hamilton.

Both the Los Angeles Lakers legend and footballer David Beckham were present to host the party. Let’s look at some of the best moments from the party.

One of the most interesting moments from the party is the Big Man showing his support to the 7x F1 champion. The clip shows famed F1 driver and commentator Martin Brundle. Their short interaction attracted hilarious comments from fans and followers.

However, what made it the highlight of the show was Big Aristotle’s comment. As soon as Brundle approached the legend, he said, “Lewis Hamilton baby,” as he walked off in a different direction. Before Hamilton could ask him about more, O’Neal had already walked away. 

While some had hilarious reactions to his gesture, others demanded that he should have shown some more respect to the former F1 star. However, some eagle-eyed fans and followers were also quick to notice O’Neal clicking pictures with Hamilton’s rivals Red Bulls, moments before his claim. O’Neal’s little support might have boosted his confidence. Hamilton couldn’t advance beyond Q2 in Qualifying. With Mercedes trailing behind rival Red Bulls, the 38-year-old holds little optimism.

The party was as vibrant as the 4x champion’s personality. To add more charm, his son Myles O’Neal took the stage for his performance.

While fans and netizens keep sharing the snippets from the party, O’Neal also shared some with his followers. It must have been a proud moment for the legend as he flaunted big boards featuring Myles’ name.

With Myles displaying his DJ skills, it was a significant day for the O’Neal family as well. In one clip shared online, as he gathered together with other celebrities to click a picture, he was seen yelling, “Got all my mafias here.”

Excited over teaming up with Beckham, O’Neal said, “Having attended Club SI at other Grand Prix races, I can say with certainty, when it comes to the celebration of sports, SI never disappoints.” He added, “I’m excited to catch up with David [Beckham] and connect with race fans from the best seats in Vegas.”
