Fans spot awkward detail in JLo's Formula One picture after visiting Ferrari garage in skintight pink bodysuit: 'We all know what he's looking at'
Lopez, 55, cut a striking figure in a figure-hugging, Barbie-pink one-piece as she walked through the paddock and pits at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, chatting to F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and popping in to visit the Ferrari team.
The music and movie superstar was seen posing alongside a number of the Ferrari staff, as she prepared to perform at the event in Jeddah.
However, the picture has now gone viral after fans spotted a particularly awkward detail regarding one of the Ferrari crew members.
In one picture, where JLo was front and centre among the team's staff, one member appeared distracted and was looking towards the star, rather than at the camera.
One fan wrote: 'My boy has his eyes on the prize', while another said: 'We all know what he's gazing at'.
The music and movie superstar was all smiles in her skintight pink bodysuit at the event
A third user on X said: 'I wonder where he's looking' with a series of emojis - including a peach - accompanying the message.
Lopez's performance after qualifying - which saw her joined by Party Next Door, Major Lazer and Usher - was her first performance at an F1 event in 11 years, after she previously headlined at the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix.
Shortly after Lopez was spotted on the broadcast, F1 commentator David Croft made an awful joke about the superstar.
While JLo was posing for photos, Croft quipped, 'I'm surprised she's here at the moment - I thought she was waiting for tonight.
'JLo fans would've got that.'
The TV star's groan-worthy joke was a riff on Lopez's 1999 hit 'Waiting for Tonight'.
On the track, world champion Max Verstappen snatched pole position with a stunning lap that put him just in front of Australia's Oscar Piastri.
But the real story of qualifying was the shocking blow to Lando Norris's bid to become world champion, which saw the McLaren star crash into the wall in Q3.
Fans online were quick to suggest the Ferrari man was 'gazing' at the American star
The Briton will now start from 10th on the grid as he tries to protect the three-point lead he has over teammate Piastri in the driver standings.
Norris he called himself a 'f****** idiot' as he assured the team he was physically unharmed while still in the cockpit.
Norris's contribution ended when he lost control through the chicane and travelled over the kerbs. He tried to wrestle his car back but there was no catching it, and he was sent into the left-hand wall. Turns 4 and 5 of the 27, and he was out of the reckoning at the start of Q3.
McLaren chief executive Zak Brown has not given up hope of a Norris revival. 'Just focus on the race,' he said of their approach. 'It will probably be a one-stop, but we can't rule out a safety car'.

Why Matt Damon is planning another secret visit to Elgin's Smart Kart Raceway as thrill-seekers make it busiest year ever
Elgin's own Andrew Smart has been on the hunt for adrenaline his whole life. A keen racing fan and boxer alongside participating in other fast-paced sports like BMX and mountain biking, this hunt has continued into his business career. This began with the takeover of now-named Smart Kart Raceway near Lhanbryde in 2021. After a big effort from him and the team, helped by a cheeky visit from Hollywood star Matt Damon, this year has been the 'busiest so far.' Andrew's passion for on-track action comes from his interest in Formula 1 from a young age, and this passion is immediate upon entry to the karting hub. Small displays of formula one circuits, model racing cars and a dramatic poster of F1 legend Michael Schumacher get visitors in the racing spirit. One of his first opportunities to see karting up close came when one of his friends offered him a job at the old kart raceway, which opened back in 2001 on the Chanonry Industrial Estate. Having worked there for three years, Andrew moved on to become a mechanic with Sheriffmill Motor Company in Elgin. However, he kept in touch with the ex-Elgin Kart Raceway owners and more recently found they were looking to move on from the business. By then, the raceway had been moved to it's current location in Lhanbryde after being relocated due to Moray Council's flood alleviation works. In an idea that was originally a 'pipe dream', Andrew then took over the Elgin Kart Raceway in 2021, renaming it Smart Kart Raceway in what became part of a plan to put his own stamp on the business. Outside the Smart Kart Raceway track, you may recognise Andrew as a professional boxer, having competed at the homecoming night of boxing at Elgin Town Hall in 2019. Andrew won his fight on a night of professional fighting in an event not held in the venue for 80 years. If combining his 59 amateur and 8 professional fights with his career as mechanic wasn't enough, he then had to learn to run a business. However, he said he was helped by being able to carry forward many problem solving skills from his days at the track and at Sheriffmill. He said: 'I'll always try and learn something myself as opposed to paying someone or paying to do something. 'Almost everything in here, I'll do myself. When I came here, I learned how to fix the karts. 'You're not really just learning a job here, I learned a lot of life skills just from working here.' The 500-metre track has nine turns with a variety of corners and speeds across the circuit. Over a half-hour session, racers can manage anything from 35 to 55 laps depending on their pace. In a year, all the karts combine to complete a staggering average of 275,000 laps of the circuit, running the equivalent of over 5,000 British Grand Prix a year. However, the circuit has a number of other options for non-racers or when the track has frozen over including laser tag and axe throwing. Laser clay pigeon shooting and buggies for smaller drivers are also on the cards, giving the raceway that destination feel with something for all the family. Andrew hopes: 'One day there is going to be everything for anyone to do.' But first and foremost, the business is fuelled by karting prowess and the lap record of 32.8 seconds, held for several years, keeps competitors coming back for another attempt. Karting fans are returning from as far as south-west Scotland to have another shot on the Smart Kart Raceway track and have made 2025 the Elgin circuit's busiest year 'so far.' Other groups come back month to month, hosting grand prix, general catch ups and work gatherings. Gordonstoun recently hosted around 200 pupils over multiple sessions at the circuit. So what keeps people coming back? 'Effort', Andrew told the P&J. He said: 'The way it was run before worked to an extent, but it just needed refining, a bit of fine tuning and more effort in certain places.' This includes grass cutting, crash tyre management and strong links with local businesses for advertising. He added: 'First impressions is a big thing, customer care and the experience that they are getting. 'I'm trying to make it the place to come.' 'That's why I put so much effort into the maintenance and how the place is looking.' In recent weeks, 'every person' that has visited the raceway has been asking after Hollywood's Matt Damon after his surprise visit to the circuit. Andrew was away during his visit as it was the 'one day I'd taken off' for his brother-in-law's 40th birthday. Catching up on multiple missed calls from his trackside deputy, he couldn't believe Matt Damon was driving his circuit until being sent selfies from his mum and a screenshot of his karting disclaimer signed: 'Matt Damon'. He recalled: 'I was driving to Aberdeen the next day and my phone was going crazy. 'For the last three weeks, since he came, every person that has come in the door has mentioned it. 'I think it has helped us, but we are normally flat out for the summer holidays anyway.' After endless requests to drive 'Matt Damon's kart', some requests even got to the point of becoming 'borderline inappropriate', Andrew joked. After the visit, Andrew spoke to Mr Damon's team who said the group had 'really enjoyed' their time at the circuit and added they would hopefully be back soon. The Odyssey star was booked into the track under a different name and he hopes Matt Damon's next visit will also be in secret. However, the Elgin karts proved to be a handful for the F0rd v Ferrari lead actor, who ended his racing session second last out of his group.

F1 2025 mid-season driver ratings: Piastri and Norris battle for top spot
Following Lando Norris' victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, Formula 1 is now on its summer break and will return at the end of August for the Dutch Grand Prix. After years of Max Verstappen domination, 2025 has all been about McLaren, with Oscar Piastri and Norris battling it out for the championship. Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton's first year at Ferrari isn't going to plan, while Red Bull decided to part ways with Christian Horner after 20 years. Here's how we've rated all 21 drivers on the grid after the first 14 races of the 2025 season: 10 = Perfection 9 = Outstanding 8 = Great 7 = Good 6 = Decent 5 = Acceptable 4 = Underwhelming 3 = Poor 2 = Very Poor 1 = Back to Formula 2 It's hard to believe that Piastri is only in his third season of F1, such is the the 24-year-old's incredible speed and calmness behind the wheel. Aiming to become the first Australian to win the championship since Alan Jones 45 years ago, Piastri goes into the summer break with six wins and a nine point lead over Norris. After slipping behind his teammate and crashing out in Canada, Norris could well have crumbled but statement wins in Austria, Silverstone and Hungary have strengthened his title credentials. The Brit has the speed to win the championship – as evidenced by his five victories – but little mistakes are costing him. He must be flawless in the second-half of the season. Given Red Bull's car is an absolute menace to drive, Verstappen should be applauded for being third in the standings, picking up impressive wins in Japan and Imola. Unfortunately, there are still question marks regarding the four-time champion's temperament after deliberately crashing into George Russell in Spain. An outstanding victory in Canada highlights a fantastic season for Russell so far, with the Brit going from strength-to-strength. Remarkably, Mercedes still haven't agreed a new contract with him, but with the option to sign Verstappen gone, Russell is almost certainly keeping his place as Silver Arrows' No.1 driver. Ferrari's car isn't up to scratch, but Leclerc has managed to get five podiums out of it. Any suggestion that he'd struggle against Hamilton has also been dismissed – he's beaten his new teammate in 10/11 of the 12/13 races they've both finished. A sprint race victory in China proved to be a false dawn for the seven-time world champion, whose dream move to the Scuderia is turning into a nightmare. Yet to finish on the podium, with communication problems with his engineers affecting performance. There has been improvement in the last few races, so maybe not all hope is lost. After a bright start, the Italian has failed to score points in six of the last eight races, which included a heavy crash with Verstappen in Austria. That said, he is an 18-year-old rookie with bags of potential who should have a bright future at Mercedes – provided they give him a new contract. The best of the rest and by some distance, Albon has scored more points in 2025 than he has in the last three seasons combined, demonstrating Williams' fantastic progression under James Vowles. Unquestionably the driver of the season – outside of the McLarens – the German was already enjoying a great year before finishing third at Silverstone after a remarkable drive from 17th – the first podium of his 15-year career. While he lacks the eye-catching results of Albon and Hulkenberg, Ocon has done well to sneak into the top 10 in the standings while adjusting to his new team. Took the two-time champion nine races to get some points on the board but things have been looking decent since then. It's clear Aston Martin are waiting for 2026 when they'll have an Adrian Newey designed car. Level on points with his teammate, great drives in Australia and Great Britain demonstrate the Canadian's skill in wet conditions. Amid the chaos at both Red Bull teams, Hadjar is enjoying a stellar rookie campaign, having recovered from crashing out on the formation lap on his debut in Australia. Too soon to promote him to Verstappen's teammate? A tough season for Alpine who have the slowest car but Gasly has still managed to show his quality, finishing in the points on four occasions, including a great drive to sixth at Silverstone. Started the season at Red Bull but was demoted after just two races. Yuki Tsunoda's struggles prove Lawson wasn't all to blame and after a very shaky start the Kiwi's form is picking up. After a stellar 2024, the former Ferrari man is struggling to adapt to his new team. Some good results but the gap between himself and Albon will be concerning. The Brazilian's F1 career began slow but has steadily improved with three points finishes in the last four races. One to watch for the second-half of the year. Finally given a chance to prove himself in the senior team following Lawson's demotion but cannot get to grips with the RB21. Car trouble aside, scoring seven points compared to Verstappen's 148 is simply not good enough. The Brit hasn't done a lot wrong in his rookie season but keeps just missing out on the points. Last top-10 finish was Bahrain back in April and he's now last of the full-time drivers. Alpine axed Jack Doohan to bring Colapinto back to the grid but it's a gamble that hasn't worked, with the Argentine yet to score points and unable to replicate his superb form from last year. The Australian wasn't great but definitely did not deserve to be dumped after just six races. No points but as Colapinto has since proved, the car isn't good enough.
