In a highly anticipated crossover moment, tennis legend Novak Djokovic and football icon David Beckham stole the show at the Qatar Grand Prix. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was a special guest of the organizers and made a splash with appearances at the Lusail International Circuit, including a yoga and fitness session with Alpine and handing out trophies after the Sprint race. Meanwhile, Beckham, a star partner of Qatar Airways, traded the pitch for the pit lane, touring the paddock and watching the action from trackside. He was part of a notable football contingent in Lusail, joined by former England team-mates Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, and Gary Neville. The moment that sent social media into a frenzy was a chance encounter between Djokovic and Beckham, which was captured in a viral Instagram post. As the Qatar GP came to a close, with Max Verstappen and McLaren dominating the headlines, the presence of Beckham and Djokovic served as a reminder that modern F1 has become a global entertainment spectacle, where the biggest names in sport can share the spotlight with drivers and other celebrities. Beckham's visit was another stop in his high-profile F1 tour, with the former England captain featuring in content from the race promoter and partners documenting his time in the paddock and hospitality areas. Djokovic's visit, meanwhile, highlighted his growing crossover appeal beyond tennis, as he mingled with drivers, team personnel, and fellow celebrities throughout the weekend.
