F1 Circuit joins in on viral Coldplay kiss cam moment and warns in advance!

Footage of a couple in the stands – who were later found out to be the CEO and an HR chief of a tech company - went viral worldwide. In the aftermath of the moment, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya shared the video on X with the following caption: “We are planning a Kiss Cam for the next Catalan GP.”

The incident that inspired the tweet took place during a Coldplay concert in Boston. On the Kiss Cam, a man and woman were filmed appearing visibly uncomfortable when they noticed they were on camera. Coldplay singer Chris Martin saw it happen and joked: “Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.” The footage gone viral on TikTok and X with tens of millions of views.

Online, the couple was quickly identified as the CEO of Astronomer – whose wife has since apparently deleted her social media - and an HR chief of the same company. The tech company responded to the controversy by placing both employees on leave. An investigation was also initiated.
