This week, Tottenham Hotspur teammates Richarlison and Pape Sarr found themselves in a heated argument, but not on the football field – it happened in the middle of London traffic.
The Brazilian forward and Senegalese midfielder were caught up in a road rage incident, which ended up being shared widely on social media.
A Surprising Outburst From Richarlison
The drama unfolded when Richarlison, behind the wheel of his £140,000 Corvette E-ray, jumped out of his car to slap the bonnet of Sarr’s Mercedes.
It was clear that the Brazilian wasn’t happy with something that happened in traffic, as he shouted expletives and raised his middle finger at his teammate.
The two were stuck at a junction after what appears to be a frustrating delay.
Sarr’s Reaction and the Hilarious Social Media Moment
From Sarr’s perspective, the situation seemed almost comical.
He filmed the entire interaction from inside his Mercedes and shared the video with his followers.
The young midfielder couldn’t help but laugh at the bizarre situation, despite the tension in the moment.
He honked his horn at Richarlison before things escalated.
Later, Richarlison took to Instagram to reflect on the incident.
Keeping things lighthearted, he captioned the video: “Tag your friend who has no patience in traffic!!!” along with laughing emojis and tagging Sarr in the post.
It seems that despite the heated exchange, both players were able to see the funny side of their road rage moment.
The Cars and Their Impressive Specifications
Richarlison’s choice of car – the Corvette E-ray – is anything but ordinary.
With a price tag potentially reaching up to £140,000, the V8-powered machine is a beast on the road, boasting a top speed of over 180mph and the ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
It’s quicker than a base Ferrari Roma, making it an impressive car for any footballer.
On the other hand, Sarr was cruising around in his Mercedes G-Wagon, likely a G400, G450, or G500 model, depending on the exact interior specs.
These luxury models can range from £110,000 to £150,000.
Though not as fast as Richarlison’s Corvette, the G-Wagon’s two-and-a-half-ton frame still has a respectable top speed of 130mph and can hit 0-62mph in about 6.4 seconds.
A Memorable, but Amusing Moment
While it was an unusual outburst for the Tottenham teammates, it was a moment that they both seemed to take in stride.
No harm was done, and the video quickly became a viral moment, showing that even professional athletes aren’t immune to the frustrations of traffic.
