When I'm not covering Formula 1, I'm apparently moonlighting as a bodyguard for Neymar.
At least, that's what some of the images of the Brazilian football star taken at a lavish Saturday night event in Monaco would have you believe. I had been invited by PokerStars to attend the Tag Heuer party, held at the floating Red Bull Energy Station moored next to the F1 paddock entrance.
It was only when there that I learned that Neymar, an ambassador for the brand, was scheduled to show up. What's more, I was told that the plan was for the Paris Saint-Germain football star to play a few hands with our group later in the evening.
