Stray Kids’ Felix, MEOVV meet Lewis Hamilton at Singapore Grand Prix

The Singapore Grand Prix delivered a star-studded crossover between Formula One and K-pop as Stray Kids member Felix and rising girl group MEOVV met seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton during the race weekend.

Felix was among the high-profile guests at Ferrari Night, where he posed for photographs with Hamilton in a meeting that brought together two internationally recognised figures from music and motorsport. Their interaction quickly caught fans’ attention, highlighting the growing connection between K-pop’s global following and Formula One’s expanding entertainment appeal.

The exchange also featured mutual admiration, with Hamilton expressing appreciation for Stray Kids while Felix described the British racing driver as a legend.

Hamilton is widely known for his achievements on the track, but his influence extends into fashion, music and popular culture. Felix, meanwhile, has become a prominent figure in the global music industry through Stray Kids’ performances, releases and international fanbase.

MEOVV also attracted attention during their visit to the Ferrari garage. The girl group appeared in coordinated leather outfits as they posed with Hamilton ahead of the sprint race, adding another fashion-focused moment to a weekend filled with celebrity appearances.

Their presence reflected how Formula One race weekends have increasingly become cultural events, bringing together drivers, musicians, actors and fashion personalities. For K-pop artists, appearances at major sporting events offer opportunities to reach audiences beyond music, while Formula One benefits from the attention of younger and internationally connected fan communities.

Verstappen wins as Hamilton finishes second

Away from the celebrity encounters, the sprint race produced its own talking points. Max Verstappen claimed victory, while Hamilton finished second, giving Ferrari supporters a result to celebrate despite the Dutch driver taking the top spot.

Reality television star Kim Kardashian was also among the high-profile visitors spotted cheering from the Ferrari garage, adding to the weekend’s celebrity buzz.

The combination of racing action, fashion and entertainment reinforced the Singapore Grand Prix’s reputation as one of Formula One’s most glamorous events.

Against the backdrop of Singapore’s spectacular night race, Felix and MEOVV’s encounters with Hamilton became notable moments in a weekend that brought together sporting achievement and international stardom.

As Formula One continues to attract attention beyond traditional motorsport audiences, celebrity appearances such as these underline the championship’s growing role as a global entertainment platform, where interactions between stars from different industries can generate as much fan interest as the action on the circuit.
