PUMA brought a delegation of Filipino celebrities and creators to Singapore on October 7, 2026, for a meet-and-greet with Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, combining interactive games with a showcase of motorsport-inspired style.

According to PUMA’s announcement, the experience connected its racing collections with the personalities’ own approaches to everyday fashion. Rather than simply watching the drivers, participants joined activities that gave the gathering a more personal dimension.

The Philippine delegation included Julia Barretto, Dominic Roque, Macoy Averilla, Daniel Miranda, Sofia Andres, Chenee Jimenez, Derick Lauchengco, Andie Syyap, Miccolo Solis and Ruth Jimenez.

A familiar street-game connection

One encounter paired Dominic Roque with Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc for a game of Feather Chapteh, which the release compared with the Filipino street game sipa.

That familiar reference gave the international gathering a local point of connection: a driver interaction built around a game recognizable to Filipino audiences.

Professional racer Daniel Miranda and content creator Miccolo Solis, meanwhile, joined McLaren driver Lando Norris for a “Guess the Time” challenge, testing their ability to estimate when a timer stopped.

The activities placed the personalities alongside the drivers in a setting that extended beyond the usual spectator experience.

Racing style beyond the track

Fashion formed another part of the event. During the official livestream, Julia Barretto showcased a Ferrari-inspired outfit, while Sofia Andres presented a McLaren look.

Throughout the gathering, the delegation combined PUMA’s motorsport apparel with their individual streetwear styles. The clothing became part of the story, showing how racing references can carry into outfits worn away from a circuit.

For readers who follow both sport and fashion, the event offered a look at how those interests overlap through apparel, creator content and direct encounters with athletes.

Bringing the experience to Filipino audiences

PUMA positioned the Singapore gathering as a way to connect Philippine lifestyle and fashion communities with its global motorsport partnerships.

The announcement focuses on the delegation’s experience and outfits rather than a new product launch. Its central story is the connection between the people representing the Philippines, the drivers they met and the racing culture reflected in their style.
