On May 3, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Rosé concluded the 2025 Formula One Sprint Grand Prix in Miami to a close by signaling the final lap with the checkered flag. The occasion took place at the Miami International Autodrome during the current racing weekend.
She appeared trackside in a relaxed-fit leather motorsport jacket in shades of black, white, and deep navy, paired with coordinating shorts. Positioned at the finish line platform, the 28-year-old raised and waved the flag in line with standard racing customs.

As outlined by Formula One regulations, the checkered flag in Formula One marks the end of a race. It’s displayed once the front-runner completes the final lap circuit or the race duration concludes.
After seeing the flag, drivers do a cooldown lap and head to the pit lane or parc fermé for checks and interviews. Fans reacted to the South Korean songstress' accomplishment, with one X user stating:
"Omg my two worlds collide."
Admirers keep reacting to the New Zealand-born star's F1 appearance.
"Rosé and racing? That’s a podium, worthy combo! Can’t wait to see how she shines on the soundtrack!," a fan remarked.
"Rosé's rhythm is the checkered flag for F1's soundtrack!," a user mentioned.
"From number one girl to Formula one girl 🏁," a person shared.
This moment marks the second straight year a BLACKPINK artist has participated in this ceremonial role at the Miami circuit. In 2024, Lisa took on the same duty during the primary Grand Prix. However, now, with Rosé stepping in for 2025, fans are already hoping Jennie and Jisoo get their turn next.
"Need Jennie and Jisoo to wave flags to complete the group," a netizen said.
"We need jisoo and jennie to go to f1 race to complete f1 x blackpink set," a viewer noted.
