On November 9, 2025. Exactly one year ago today following their massive comeback concert in São Paulo, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong brought their rock energy to the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.
The band members were spotted taking in the high-speed action and enjoying the VIP experience at the paddock, where they even crossed paths with music legend Billy Idol.
The absolute highlight of the day came at the very end of the race, when Mike and Emily surprised fans by officially waving the checkered flag as the cars crossed the finish line. Just a great throwback to remember this iconic crossover between rock music and motorsport from last year!
