Lewis Hamilton’s connection with Neymar, Gabriel, and Brazil

The 2020 F1 Champion is friends with Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar Jr and Pro surfer Gabriel Medina. The Briton has been spotted with the two a couple of times as Neymar and Gabriel are very popular in Brazil and there’s no doubt about that.

Gabriel is a very famous surfer, while Neymar’s popularity is unquestionable. With Hamilton being a global superstar, just like Neymar and Gabriel, it is believed that they invited the F1 star to their country.

Moreover, Brazil has always been a favorite hunting ground for the former McLaren driver. When asked about the last remarkable victory he remembers, Lewis stated, “Brazil last year I think. You know it’s crazy because I don’t remember every single race win or even the failures.”
