Ana de Armas had the honor of waving the checkered flag for the winner, Max Verstappen.
But before she took the checkered flag, she got a VIP sneak peek inside the Ferrari garage, guided by seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, where she was introduced to the tech and got to see the team in action. Clips posted online featured Hamilton showing the actress the intricate steering wheel, which she attempted to navigate with Hamilton’s help. The two were then caught enjoying a laugh together.
The “No Time to Die” star wasn’t the only A-Lister at the track. Katy Perry, sing Benson Boone, tennis player Jannik Sinner, and soccer icons Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho Gaúcho were also in attendance on Sunday, December 7.
Lando Norris conquered the 2025 F1 World Championship after grabbing third place at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Even though Max Verstappen took the race win, Norris racked up 423 points, just two ahead of Verstappen’s 421. This makes him McLaren’s first win since 2008 and the 11th British driver to claim the F1 crown.
