Adele spoke about her son Angelo during a visit to McLaren Racing headquarters on Friday, where she also met senior team figures and Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
The 38-year-old singer discussed how her 13-year-old son, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, has developed an interest in karting, which sparked her own growing involvement in Formula 1.
She said the interest began after Angelo started asking about motorsport a few years ago.
“He just sort of asked about it a couple of years ago and I was like, ‘All right,’” she said. “I don’t know many teenagers who have a passion so I’m really trying to encourage it. He’s obsessed but I’m also obsessed.”
Adele added that the shared interest has become a regular point of connection between them.
“I don’t think I ever expected to bond with my soon to be 14-year-old son about something so passionately where we argue about drivers,” she said. “But it’s fun to have that interaction with a teenage boy in 2026, I wasn’t expecting it.”
During the visit, Adele also took part in a conversation with reigning Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris, who asked her whether she still enjoys singing.
