Rumors were rife that Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr contract included a clause that requires him to attend the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. And according to reports, those rumors are true. Despite Al Nassr’s denial that Ronaldo must become an ambassador for Saudi Arabia’s 2030 World Cup bid after his playing career is over, the football superstar is definitely obliged to attend the F1 race this Sunday.
Ronaldo’s attendance at the event is not just a perk of his contract but also a testament to the nation’s growing involvement in the sports world. Saudi Arabia has been investing heavily in sports, and the nation’s efforts have not gone unnoticed, with Ronaldo’s arrival being a prime example.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner previously attended the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix, where he posed for a picture with Lewis Hamilton. And two years ago, he visited the Ferrari headquarters at Maranello and met drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.
Ronaldo’s involvement in the F1 world has been well-documented, and his appearance at this weekend’s race is sure to attract a lot of attention from fans and media alike. With Max Verstappen’s recent domination, the event is shaping up to be a must-watch, and Ronaldo’s presence only adds to the excitement.
As the countdown to Sunday’s race continues, all eyes will be on Ronaldo and his Al Nassr teammates as they make their way to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. One thing is for sure, this is one F1 event that you do not want to miss!
