Lewis Hamilton was in Canada on Monday night watching the NBA game featuring the LA Lakers competing against the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors' mascot is clearly doing some schmoozing with the three-time world champion, but we're not altogether sure that it would be able to squeeze into the cockpit of a Formula One race car any time soon so it seems that Nico Rosberg's place in the Mercedes team is safe for a while longer yet.
Monday's game is expected to be the last professional outing for NBA legend Kobe Bryant in Canada, and Hamilton was pleased to have had another chance to see Bryant in action before he retires from the sport.
"What he has achieved in his career is absolutely phenomenal," Hamilton told Sportsnet after the game. "I’m from London, but I’m a huge fan of the NBA, so I’ve been watching it for a long, long time. To watch his career success and to watch him in his final year is a real privilege."
Hamilton arrived in Toronto aboard his £20m blood-red Bombardier CL-600, and posted some snaps on Instagram of himself standing on the wing of the private jet before driving to the Air Canada Center for the game - which saw the Lakers lose 102-93 to the home side despite all of Bryant's best efforts.
