The Las Vegas Grand Prix continues to live up to its reputation as one of the most glamorous events on the Formula 1 calendar. In 2023, celebrities from across the globe flocked to the iconic Strip, and 2024 has proven to be no different.
One of the standout stars in attendance was none other than 16-time Grammy Award winner Adele. The British pop sensation added her immense star power to the already electric atmosphere of the weekend. McLaren invited Adele to be their guest for the event, and fans were thrilled when the team shared photos of her posing in front of Lando Norris’ iconic papaya-colored car. “FINALLY, a good guest,” one eager fan exclaimed.
McLaren took to social media to share the moment, cheekily captioning the post, “Rumor has it, the one and only Adele loves papaya.” This playful nod wasn’t just a subtle tribute to Adele’s hit song “Rumor Has It,” but a clever way to connect her with the team.
While it’s unclear if Adele is an avid McLaren fan, she could easily be a supporter, considering it’s a British team with a fellow Brit, Lando Norris, behind the wheel. Norris himself is a big admirer of Adele and even teamed up with content creators AngryGinge and Fifakill earlier this year to sing along to her hit “Set Fire to the Rain” as part of a segment for his brand Quadrant.
As the Las Vegas GP race day approaches, Adele will be cheering on Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri. The drivers, starting from P6 and P8 respectively, will be hoping for strong performances to support McLaren’s bid for their first Constructors’ Championship title since 1998. Currently, the team holds a 34-point lead over Ferrari.
