K-pop star Felix visits Ferrari garage at Singapore GP and ignites fan frenzy

Stray Kids member Felix generated a wave of social media excitement after Ferrari hosted the South Korean K-pop star at the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay circuit, with behind-the-scenes photos and video from the visit racking up millions of interactions online.

Felix posted a series of images to Instagram captioned “Ferrari behind the scenes,” which had accumulated more than 648,000 likes and 6,000 comments by 18 October. An earlier race-day post reading simply “Forza Ferrari” performed even better, drawing over two million likes.

Ferrari’s Asia-Pacific account had previewed the visit ahead of the race weekend with a joint post — “From the circuit to the stage. United by racing, driven by passion” — before the team’s main account published a dedicated reel following Felix around the garage.

Felix’s fanbase, known as Stays, flooded the comments sections across both accounts. “Felix casually introducing us to Ferrari like we’re all part of the paddock now. I love it!!” wrote one. Others were equally enthused by the sight of the drivers: “FELIUIXXXX AAHHHHH AND MY GOAT CHARLES IM SCREAMING,” posted another.

Felix’s appearance at the circuit also drew attention for his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 50th Anniversary in 41mm rose gold, valued at between $112,000 and $118,000.

The Singapore visit was part of a busy October schedule for the singer, who also attended Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 show and appeared in a promotional video for beauty brand Hera earlier in the month.

On track, Ferrari had a mixed weekend at Marina Bay. Charles Leclerc finished second behind race winner Max Verstappen, while Lewis Hamilton came home sixth after a strategy gamble failed to pay off. The team sits second in the constructors’ championship heading into the United States Grand Prix in Austin, scheduled for 23 to 25 October.
