Soccer and F1 Worlds Collide as Sergio Perez Shocks F1 Fans With a Rare Collab With ‘Original’ Ronaldo

Formula 1 and soccer are both sporting spectacles that garner adulation and crazy fandom across the entire globe. But it isn’t every day that these two sports coincide. While a crossover is one thing, two beloved entities of the sport coming together is a completely different story.

This past week, Sergio Perez was spotted with a Brazilian legend. As the Brazilian Grand Prix was about to kick off at that time, the fans were obviously in awe of the whole meet-up. They were quick to take to social media to share the pictures around.

Ronaldo Nazario might not be a die-hard Formula 1 fan. That being said, he does have an affinity for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Brazil is a passionate country, and when the biggest racing spectacle arrives in town, the greatest Brazilian footballer has to grace the occasion.
