Neymar is currently recuperating from his injury. With his absence off the pitch, it gives him enough free time. The player is flying around his jet to meet and greet new people. It was just recently when the Brazilian made a surprise appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend.

His appearance at the race brought him into the limelight as he met with many superstars. Following the Monaco Grand Prix, the PSG star went to Barcelona to see the Spanish Grand Prix. There he met with F1 star George Russell.

During the Monaco Grand Prix, Neymar was making his way to the pit lane for an interview when he spotted Hamilton and approached the Formula 1 star. However, the encounter took an unpleasant turn as the 38-year-old racer seemingly ignored Neymar in front of a large audience. After the race, Hamilton realized his mistake and went to apologize to the player.

The racer promptly took to Instagram to repost the video, expressing his apologies with the message “My bad bro.” Unfortunately, his apology came too late, as Neymar didn’t accept it and responded with a message saying, “F*** u,” on his own Instagram story. Nonetheless, it was clear that the Brazilian meant it playfully.
