Lewis Hamilton has plenty of popular friends away from the world of F1. At the Monaco GP last weekend, we saw Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar trackside, cheering on his good friend Hamilton. After the race, however, Hamilton ditched his racing overalls for some stylish party wear, as he headed to a Travis Scott concert along with Neymar.
Hamilton had a relatively good Monaco GP, considering he started the race from P6 and finished two places above. Passing cars on a track like Monaco’s is extremely difficult, but the Mercedes strategists worked well to help him jump Carlos Sainz after the rain started to fall, with a well-timed pitstop.
Neymar, who plays for Paris Saint Germain in France, traveled to Monte Carlo for the race last weekend. Currently, he is out with an injury and decided to unwind by visiting his friend Hamilton during the race. After the race got over, however, videos on social media showed Neymar and Hamilton attending a Travis Scott show together.
Neymar and Lewis Hamilton at Travis Scott’s show
Travis Scott is one of the most popular rappers in the world and is married to Kylie Jenner, who is one of the most recognizable celebrities. Hamilton and Scott go way back, with the Mercedes star attending several concerts in the past.
A video that showed Hamilton and Neymar at Scott’s show in Lillys Club became viral on social media. The Houston-born rapper performed a show in the Principality after the race weekend, but Hamilton and Neymar weren’t the only two stars in attendance.
According to the Twitter account Utopia, the likes of Kevin Durant, Kylian Mbappe, and Justin Bieber were there too. The pictures shared on social media make it look like a fun event. For Hamilton, it must’ve been a great day out before he suits up for the Spanish GP again next weekend.
Travis Scott and Hamilton’s old friendship
Hamilton and Scott’s friendship is nothing new for F1 fans. In fact, earlier this year, Travis Scott traveled to Jeddah to catch up with the seven-time world champion after the Saudi Arabian GP.
Back in 2018, Hamilton thanked Scott for coming to party that he hosted. That, however, was in association with Tommy Hilfiger, a brand that Hamilton has been associated with for a long time.
Back in the world of F1, Hamilton will be hoping to continue Mercedes’ good form into the Spanish GP weekend. They are still a long way behind Red Bull. However, the gap to Aston Martin has been cut down to a slim margin of just one point.
