It is a sweet sight for sports fans when stars from two different worlds come together. In one such event, the NBA’s 7’3 star was seen with F1 star Yuki Tsunoda. Although the Japanese driver didn’t have the best day on the road, their picture together created a lot of buzz on the internet. In fact, it remained one of the highlights of the day due to the engagement coming in from fans with hilarious comments.

The NBA’s giant Kristaps Porzingis made an appearance during the Spanish GP today. Porzingis clicked a picture with AlphaTauri’s driver and it had the internet in splits. Stating the obvious while looking at the picture, fans had a field day with it, bombarding the replies with hilarious comments and trolls.

Tsunoda dropped a disaster during the Spanish GP. He finished the race in 12th position, with one of the worst performances. Additionally, he was handed a penalty in today’s race for going off-track. Although it seemed intentional from Tsunoda, his ‘shocking reaction’ to the penalty was confusing for the fans. The stewards decided to look into the claim even though it originally appeared from the video that it would go unnoticed. Tsunoda was finally given a five-second time penalty for pushing Zhou off the track.

It’s also safe to say that Tsunoda did not react well to the steward’s decision, accusing Zhou of “pretending” to have run out of room and needed to exit the track when there was actually no need to do so. When asked about the penalty and how he feels about it, Tsunoda said: “It was a ridiculous penalty and it feels really unfair.” Despite what happened on the track, what happened off the track is what won the hearts of fans on the internet. Tsunoda and Porzingis posed for a picture together and the height difference between the two was as evident as anything could be.

A 7’3 Kristaps Porzingis was standing next to a 5’3 Yuki Tsunoda and the internet couldn’t help itself but blurt out comments.
