Lewis Hamilton seemingly snubbed Neymar Jr brutally after the PSG star chose to hang out in the Red Bull garage. Although the Brazilian footballer is a close friend of Hamilton, he chose to hang out with the Briton’s arch-rivals instead.
Hamilton did not seem to take the same kindly. As seen in the video below, Neymar Jr was giving an interview to a Sky Sports F1 interviewer when Hamilton was going past him on his scooty. With the Brazilian realizing that it was his close friend that was going past, he tried reaching out to him.

However, Hamilton was in a different zone altogether. Instead of acknowledging Neymar Jr back, Hamilton simply went past him hurriedly, leaving the PSG star also in splits.

Neymar Jr’s strange day just did not end there as he also gave a shocking answer to who he was supporting for the race. When asked about the same, the PSG star replied (as quoted by deni), “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“.
