Neymar Jr Gives a Straightforward ‘F*** U’ to Lewis Hamilton After Getting Ignored at the Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton has issued a public apology to PSG star Neymar Jr after he seemingly snubbed him at this past weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix. The Brazilian was attempting to approach Hamilton for a chat at a moment when the Briton zoomed past him on his scooty.

Following this incident, Hamilton posted an Instagram story in which he wrote, “My bad bro Neymar Jr“. The Mercedes driver seemingly posted this much needed apology after several fans speculated that he had snubbed the Brazilian.

Hamilton failed to notice Neymar Jr as he zoomed past him

As seen in the hilarious video below, Neymar Jr was giving an interview to a Sky Sports reporter when Lewis Hamilton zoomed past him on his scooty. Even though the Brazilian tried his best to make contact with Hamilton, the Briton failed to notice him.

With Hamilton going past him with such a high speed, it also left Neymar Jr in splits. The interaction between the two made several fans such as Lisa worried that Hamilton had snubbed his ‘good friend‘.

Neymar Jr had previously snubbed Lewis Hamilton for Red Bull

Despite having revealed several times in the past that he is a supporter of Lewis Hamilton, Neymar Jr still snubbed the Briton and decided to hang out in the Red Bull garage with Christian Horner and co. The Brazilian was spotted hanging out with several celebrities such as Maria Sharapova and Tom Holland.

What made his visit to the Red Bull garage all the more strange was an interview he gave to Sky Sports F1 before the Monaco Grand Prix main race began. The PSG star told them, “I love F1 and above all I love [Lewis] Hamilton, who is a great friend of mine. I will support Red Bull and root for my friend”.

This was obviously a baffling statement from the Brazilian footballer as Hamilton’s arch-rival for the past few years has been Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. The two fought one of the tightest battles for the title in 2021, which as ultimately won the Dutchman in controversial circumstances.
