Laura Pausini, photo retouching with Jannik Sinner. Selvaggia Lucarelli: “It’s funny”

Laura Pausini was one of the stars of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, not only for her live performance before the race but also—and above all—for a photograph that went viral online. The photo, which shows the singer alongside Jannik Sinner, Marco Bezzecchi, and Andrea Kimi Antonelli—winner of his home Grand Prix after a spectacular comeback—has been viewed and shared by millions of people, thanks in part to the global fame of those featured.

The problem, however, is that there are two versions of the same photo: the original and the one shared by Pausini on her profile, with some details of her face and body differing. The use of filters is certainly nothing new, even among celebrities, but the fact that both photos circulated gave the singer away, and she was immediately called out by haters.

Selvaggia Lucarelli also weighed in: “Speaking of Pausini. The news isn’t that she retouched a photo. Who cares? We all knew it, and we all do it (let’s say with a heavy or light hand, depending on the situation). It’s just funny that she didn’t realize the original one is circulating everywhere.”

Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli is still on cloud nine after his triumph at Monza. The day after the extraordinary comeback that took him from nineteenth place to victory in the Italian Grand Prix, the Mercedes driver shared his emotions on Instagram: “First at home! It’s hard to describe yesterday—it’s like a daydream. What I experienced is something I’ll never forget. The podium at Monza is indescribable, the warmth of all the fans, and the never-ending sea of people.”

And he added: “I really want to thank everyone who made this possible and who is making this year special.” In the carousel posted on social media, however, there’s also a photo that immediately went viral. Antonelli was photographed winding a strand of spaghetti directly off the trophy. The shape of this year’s trophy had already gone viral, and somehow the world championship leader decided to poke some fun at it.
