Lewis Hamilton set aside his recent frustrations with Formula One to spend time with basketball legend LeBron James.

After the Monaco Grand Prix, the 37-year-old Mercedes driver became enraged and sought to speak with the FIA to resolve the chaos before Sunday’s race.

However, on Monday, he felt better after catching up with legendary Los Angeles Lakers player James, who is among the highest-paid athletes in the world.

Hamilton seemed to have stayed in Monte Carlo after the weekend’s events, as LeBron traveled from the United States to attend Saturday’s Champions League final in Paris.

On Monday night, they shared photos of themselves together on Instagram, showing James’ arm around his friend’s shoulder as the two stood side by side.

While the NBA player wore black slacks and a black pullover with red stripes, the stylish Brit wore an outfit with a black and white floral pattern.

Using LeBron’s moniker as a guide, Hamilton added, “King of kings, great seeing you brother.”

James,37, a four-time NBA champion and MVP, continued, saying: “BECOME LEGENDARY!! It’s good to see you, brother!”

Together, their fans have already liked 2.5 million of their postings.

Despite the fact that James, who is six feet nine inches tall, and Hamilton, who is five feet eight inches tall, are nearly identical in height, several people made the joke that Hamilton must have been standing on a box.

In sharp contrast to the previous day, Monday seemed to be a bright and pleasant day in Monaco despite the clouds looming over the Mediterranean.

As the weather worsened, the race directors red flagged the start and told the drivers to return to the paddock after sending them out for a delayed formation lap in the rain.

Even though the rain had stopped for the most part long before that, the proceedings finally started one hour late.

At the upcoming drivers’ briefing, seven-time world champion Hamilton and other drivers will be seeking explanations from the incompetent Formula One organizers for their extended delay.
