Adele Attends British Grand Prix with Son, Reveals Shared Formula 1 Passion

Global music superstar Adele made a rare public appearance on Sunday, attending the British Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone with her 13-year-old son, Angelo. The 16-time Grammy winner was seen sporting a contemporary T-shirt honoring F1 World Champion Lando Norris and the McLaren team.

“

My son is very into karting and things like that. I don't know, he just asked for it a few years ago and I said “okay.” I don't know many teenagers with passions, so I try to encourage it. He's obsessive, but so am I.

She complemented her casual look with a subtle necklace that read 'Mummy,' adding a personal touch. Adele, a known motorsport enthusiast, had previously attended the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, where she was photographed with Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.

In a candid interview on Friday, Adele shared that she and Angelo have developed a mutual "obsession" with Formula 1, a passion that has significantly deepened their connection. This shared interest reportedly began with Angelo's enthusiasm for karting, a foundational step for aspiring F1 drivers.

“

When your child has an interest, you have to support it. And most importantly, be interested yourself. I never expected to bond so strongly with my son over something like this, arguing about drivers. It's fun.

I don't sing much anymore.

During a relaxed conversation with Lando Norris, when asked if she still enjoyed singing, Adele admitted, "I don't sing much anymore." However, she couldn't resist belting out a few lines of Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time' while wearing a driver's earpiece. She also reflected on the "absurdity" of her career and the challenges of fame, stating, "I think it's ridiculous that my job is to be a singer. I never believed it. I wanted to work in A&R, I never considered myself the talent." For a girl from Tottenham, her success was "unbelievable," and she tries to approach fame with humor, finding it easier when she reminds herself of the comical nature of her profession.
