Sports News] The highly anticipated F1 Bahrain Grand Prix recently took place,
attracting the attention of many celebrities. Among them was Brazilian
international player Neymar, who is currently recovering from an injury, and a
player for Saudi Arabian club Riyadh Crescent. Neymar attended the event and
had a conversation with Red Bull Racing Team’s lead driver Max Verstappen
before the race. The two even took a group photo together. In the end,
Verstappen emerged as the victorious driver, representing the Red Bull Racing
Team, and won the Bahrain Grand Prix. Neymar has shown a keen interest in
Formula 1, and it’s not the first time he has attended such an event. He also
visited the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and the F1 Spanish Grand Prix last year,
receiving a warm welcome from the audience on both occasions. Neymar’s injury
originated from a World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay in October of the
previous year. He was fouled by a Uruguayan player, resulting in a severe knee
sprain and significant damage to his anterior cruciate ligament and menisci.
Neymar is expected to require at least nine months to recover from this injury
and will unfortunately miss the Copa America tournament scheduled for July of
the current year.
