Kid Cudi attended the Belgian Grand Prix last week to support Lewis Hamilton and says that after seeing the sport in person for the first time, he has become addicted to it.
Cudder went to his first Formula 1 race on Sunday (July 30) to support the British Mercedes driver. The fourth-place finish for Hamilton greatly impressed the 39-year-old rapper.
“Pulled up to support my boy @LewisHamilton since I was in town,” Cudi wrote on Twitter. First race I’ve ever attended; thanks to Mercedes for keeping things calm.
After the race, he uploaded a photo of himself hugging the illustrious driver to Instagram and wrote, “Such a blessing witnessing my buddy do his thing today. Lewis, you are a very unique person, and it was an absolute honor.
“Congratulations on a fantastic race, my friend. It appears that I’m addicted; I’ll have to start watching more races. You need my support, brother; our love is reciprocal. I appreciate you looking out for us, man.
On his social media platforms, Kid Cudi expressed excitement about the contest from the moment he arrived to the track. The “Mr. Rager” hitmaker appears to have received unique access from the Mercedes team to observe the inner workings of Formula 1, as seen by the photographs and videos he posted online.
He had a close-up view of Hamilton’s race car, which he referred to as his “space craft,” and he remained on the race course after the competition.
