Brundle battles through his cringiest grid walk yet

Martin Brundle’s grid walk became a trending topic once again as he mistook a basketball player for Patrick Mahomes and was blanked by David Beckham.

Six months on from his Megan Thee Stallion incident, Martin Brundle’s name was once again trending on Twitter for his latest grid walk this time at a packed Miami Grand Prix.

As seemingly every celebrity in the world descended onto the Miami International Autodrome track ahead of Sunday’s inaugural, Brundle was given the unenviable task of pushing his way through as he made his customary grid walk.

While it started on familiar terms with an interview with Mario Andretti and Zak Brown, during which the McLaren boss offered the 82-year-old a drive in the car in Austin, Brundle’s task became a little more difficult when he attempted to interview those outside of the sport.

Thankfully there was no bodyguard incident as there was the last time F1 was in the States but one of the memorable moments came when Brundle thought he spotted Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Brundle began to speak to the definitely not Mahomes person before someone in his ear piece quite clearly told Brundle he had the wrong man.
