As reported by Marca, in a video shared by the Milton Keynes team, the Where She Goes singer can be seen displaying Perez's new blue helmet before donning one of the driver's suits.

Afterwards, the Puerto Rican musician got into Checo's RB19, much to the astonished look of the driver.

Upon seeing someone in his single-seater and with his equipment on, the Mexican racer exclaimed:

"Hey, that's my helmet."

Bad Bunny then replied:

"Hey, relax, it's safe here."

After this amusing interaction, the pair walked around the Red Bull paddock and took some pictures to immortalise their reunion.

It is not the first time the rapper has been involved with the F1 team.

According to Essentially Sport, Perez's teammate, Max Verstappen had Bad Bunny's new album cover on his car's rear wing during the Miami GP Practice, to show his gratitude for a music collaboration between both parties.

About F1's Monaco Grand Prix

This weekend sees another edition of the famed Monaco Grand Prix, with the first event taking on May 14, 1950.

The race was part of the inaugural Formula One World Championship season and is now one of the most prestigious races on the F1 calendar.

It is held annually on the Circuit de Monaco, a street circuit located in the Principality of Monaco, with the race best known for its challenging layout, tight corners, and tunnel section.

The Grand Prix remains a fan favourite and a hotspot for royalty and celebrities. Last year, Prince Albert, Princess Charlene, and Princess Gabrielle were all spotted at the event.

Uniqueness of the Monaco GP

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on the uniqueness of the Monaco Grand Prix and how this could factor into Red Bull's race to championship glory this season.

The nature of the circuit makes it something of an outlier, where form can go out the window and the qualifier on Saturdays often proving to be decisive.

Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Mercedes would see this as their best chance to upset championship leader, Max Verstappen and teammate, Checo Perez.
