The Brazilian football player dares a ride with the two times World Rally Champion.
Neymar da Silva Santos Junior has decided to temporally change his football shirt with a rally race suit to become a rally co-driver for a day.
The Brazilian player had a ride in the Volkswagen Polo R WRC with the two-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier.
