- Sergio Aguero wore a Manchester City outfit in the Abu Dhabi GP paddock
- The former striker is an F1 fan and is surprisingly good at racing simulators
- This is the final of the F1 season and Max Verstappen and Red Bull are title winners
Sergio Aguero reminded fans of his iconic football career as he waltzed through the Abu Dhabi GP paddock in a Manchester City suit.
The ex-City striker strolled through the nerve center of Formula 1 in a custom-made racing suit with a light blue similar to his Man City kit and white trousers.
His old city number, 10, adorned his kit in a way that will bring back many memories for the club’s fans.
The Abu Dhabi GP takes place just a few miles from the headquarters of City’s sponsor, Etihad Airways, and it was no coincidence that their name was stamped on Aguero’s chest.
He is known as an F1 fan and might not have been so shabby if he had had a career in the sport.

He walked around the paddock in an all-blue and white outfit and showed off City’s Etihad Airways sponsor, who is from the United Arab Emirates.
The former footballer posed with fans and looked behind the scenes of the action
In 2012, he finished 1.5 seconds behind Nico Rosberg’s time at Monza while doing an F1 simulator and leaving other Premier League stars in the dust.
He has also competed in Esports events and attended other races in the past.
The Argentinian hung up his boots in December 2021 at the age of 33 and broke down in tears as he announced his retirement, caused by a heart condition.
It was just months after his move to Barcelona, where he never got to play with close friend Lionel Messi when he moved to PSG in the same summer.
He is best known for his prolific performances in Manchester, where he spent ten seasons and scored 260 goals, winning five Premier League titles.
Before that, he played for Independiente in his home country and made a name for himself in Europe with Atletico Madrid.
The Abu Dhabi GP marks the end of an incredibly long 2023 calendar, being the 22nd race of the season.
Should Mercedes fail to win, it would be a complete and incredibly rare winless campaign for them, with Max Verstappen storming to the title and Red Bull having clinched the Constructors’ Championship with ease.
