Tom Brady, one of the greatest NFL players of all time, was rumored to potentially announce his retirement after a whopping 22 years of experience on the field. Of course, he is well-known worldwide for his historic seven Super-Bowl victories, but apart from that, he is also known for his undying love for Formula 1.
In fact, Brady showed up at the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and even spent the evening throwing passes to the race winner, Daniel Ricciardo. While Brady took a spot on a massive cruise, Ricciardo was on the other side of the harbor on a Red Bull Yacht.
The NFL star then made a play to the Australian from quite a long distance and at an incredible pace. It almost looked like Ricciardo would botch up the play and end up missing the ball. However, Ricciardo was good enough to catch hold of the ball, as he raised his arms in the air to celebrate the ‘touchdown’.
