Adele Reveals the Surprising Hobby That Helped Her Bond With 13-Year-Old Son Angelo

Adele is spending more time on the race track these days than in the recording booth.

In a new video shared by McLaren Racing on Friday, July 3, the "Easy On Me" singer was seen visiting the McLaren Mastercard F1 Team in England, where she discussed bonding over the sport with her son, Angelo.

In the video, McLaren CEO Zak Brown gives the Grammy winner, 38, a tour of the McLaren Technology Centre and asks Adele how she got into the sport.

"My son is really into karting and things like that," Adele said of the teen, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki. It wasn't long after that her son's "obsession" became a shared passion for the pair.

"He just sort of asked about it a couple of years ago and I was like, 'Alright,'" she continued after Brown, 54, asked how Angelo got into the sport. "I don't know many teenagers now that have an actual passion. So I'm really trying to encourage it."

She continued, "When your kid has an interest, you have to get into it. And more importantly, I think you have to be interested in it."

While Adele, who also got the chance to meet F1 driver Lando Norris on the tour, said she didn't expect to bond with the soon-to-be 14-year-old "about something so passionate where we argue about drivers," she called their newfound hobby "fun."

"But it's fun to have that interaction with a teenage boy in 2026," Adele added. "I wasn't expecting it."

Though Adele's love for the sport is fairly new, the singer has been seen at several F1 races, including the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, where she visited the pit of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team and posed for a photo with drivers George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
