Striker Neymar Jr. arrived in Interlagos this Sunday afternoon (8) to attend the São Paulo Grand Prix, held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. The player did not attend the start with competitive intent.
Accompanied by his wife, Bruna Biancardi, Neymar walked around the paddock and handed a Santos shirt to Max Verstappen, a Red Bull driver. The performance caught the attention of the reporters present.
O erro aconteceu durante entrevista coletiva logo antes da corrida. O camisa 11 palpitou sobre os pilotos que terminariam entre os três primeiros e chamou Gabriel Bortoleto — piloto da Audi — pelo sobrenome errado: 'Bertoloto'. O próprio Neymar tirou sarro da gafe em seguida.
The confusion went viral on social media and generated memes among Santos fans who were present in the stands. The social network records thousands of citations in a matter of hours.
According to the local press, Neymar said he had great expectations for the race as it was his first time attending an international race in the category. He also joked about renewing his contract with the São Paulo team.
Gabriel Bortoleto reagiu publicamente ao erro nas redes sociais: 'Se tivesse um nome mais abrasileirado…' virou piada orgulhosa entre seus seguidores. O piloto se irritou com a grosseria recíproca.
The São Paulo GP ended with Max Verstappen taking victory on the main grid. Lando Norris completed second place in the overall World Drivers' Championship table after an exciting race in qualifying.
Now, everyone turns their attention to the next calendar event: the next round scheduled for November on another international circuit. Neymar is already confirmed to return to the São Paulo race track when there is a new opportunity to watch a race in the motor sports category.
