Adele visited with her teenage son for an access-all-areas tour of the factory as she revealed they are both utterly obsessed with F1.
The trip included a visit to Mission Control with Team Principal Stella, where she dipped her toes in a new role as Race Engineer.
The Grammy award winning singer also had the opportunity to set a lap time on the racing simulator in the Gaming Studio with the guidance of Piastri.
Norris said: “I could take you on a hot lap one time.” To which Adele replied: “F***ing great!”

Adele joked she would shout: “F***ing hurry up, come in, quick now, it’s time! Otherwise we’re going to lsoe” if she was calling a driver into the pits.
During Adele’s simulator session with Piastri, she admitted she had gone 108 miles per hour, to which the Aussie driver cheekily replied: “I won’t ask where.”
Norris is currently fifth in the driver’s standings, one point behind Piastri in fourth place ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix and sprint race.
Adele is reportedly gearing up to shock the music world by making a comeback – and is already hard at work in London after flying back from LA.
