The halftime show of the 2023 Super Bowl between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles saw Rihanna deliver a magnificent performance at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. The valiant performance during halftime of the game by the pop queen fetched her many accolades worldwide, but for the F1 fans, it was a whole different scenario. Donning bright red attire, Rihanna performed in front of the world. But for the Ferrari fans, that red was a little too familiar.
Rihanna, performing on one of the world’s biggest stages, appeared to be pregnant. This comes almost a year later she had her first child with American rapper A$AP Rocky. As much as fans were left awestruck by Rihanna’s sudden announcement, the F1 fans took things in a whole different direction. Of course, after congratulating the Barbadian singer.

I think this should be in the reply section here: everybody is a Ferrari fan, even if they say they're not, they are Ferrari fans

If she can help keep it under 2.8 she’s hired! 👏🏼 Can she call strategy too? 😅

Interestingly, fans are of the opinion that Rihanna would do a great better job as a pit crew or a race strategist in the Maranello-based team. Such is the reputation of Scuderia Ferrari. Hence Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, and Frederic Vasseur must do something about it in 2023.
Riri is better suited for Las Vegas GP pre-race concert than for half-time show of a rugby-with-protective-gears final match🤣

Can she call strategy?
