Travis Scott shared a photo of Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad on his Instagram story, calling the 19-year-old “the kid getting ready.”
Out of nowhere, American rapper Jacques Bermon Webster II, who is better known as ‘Travis Scott‘, posted a cropped photo of Racing Bulls’ Lindblad on his Instagram story on Monday. The photo was from last weekend’s F1 São Paulo GP.

Scott cropped out the other drivers walking alongside him. He captioned the photo “The kid getting ready,” likely a nod to Lindblad being the youngest driver on the F1 grid at 19. When he made his debut in Australia in March, at 18 years and 212 days, he became the fourth-youngest driver ever to start an F1 race.
Max Verstappen still holds that record at 17 years and 166 days. Scott’s post came as a surprise, since there’s no announced link between the two. Lindblad reposted the story with two cactus emojis, a nod to Scott’s Cactus Jack label.

Why Travis Scott Shared Arvid Lindblad’s Photo
Complex Sneakers then spotted that Lindblad was wearing the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low in the photo. It’s a first for Lindblad to get a shout-out from Scott, whose Jordan collaborations are some of the most sought-after sneakers around.

Lindblad had a good weekend on the social media front with his mother’s family visiting their first F1 race to watch the Brit perform. The Indian side of his family were celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights.
The race went decently for him, but he missed out on points to finish 11th, when his Racing Bulls’ teammate Liam Lawson scored points in seventh. Lindblad started 18th after a power unit problem on Saturday set him back on the grid.
Lindblad Reflects on How the São Paulo GP Panned Out
“It was a fun race,” said Lindblad. “I enjoyed it a lot, especially if it ended on lap 50 or 55. Yeah. We need to see what happened in the last 15 20 laps because I don’t think we managed everything perfectly there. What I could have done better, what we could have done better as a team. Obviously, I lost a lot of time with Franco.

“And then we don’t know if we could have made better decisions, or we were just unlucky with the timing to go onto the wet. Of course, you have big drivability problems at the end of the last 10 laps.
“So, it was incredibly difficult to race for Nico. I mean, it was just about keeping the car on the track. Yeah, it was a shame because, honestly, I think with 15 laps to go in my head, it was set to be in the points. So, we need to see where it went wrong,” summed up Lindblad, who is 11th in the drivers’ standings with 38 points.
