Adele Appears at US Grand Prix in Austin

Adele, 37, made a rare public appearance on Oct. 19 at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, visiting the Mercedes‑AMG PETRONAS pit and posing for photos with drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. The outing was her first notable public event months after concluding her "Weekends with Adele" Las Vegas residency in November 2024 as part of an extended, self‑imposed break from performing. Social media reaction to her slimmer appearance was mixed, with many fans praising her and some critics speculating about cosmetic procedures. Reports say Adele has been keeping a low profile and studying English literature. Her presence did not alter the on-track results: Russell finished sixth, Antonelli 13th, and Max Verstappen won the race.
