Martin Brundle’s hilarious F1 grid walk - mistaken identity & blanked by Becks
The grid was packed with a who’s who of th💝e celebrity and sports world at Formula One’s inaugural Grand Prix at this new location.
The Sky Sports pundit and ex-F1 driver spotted Beckham, owner of Inter Miami FC, and darted towards him only to be dওenie✅d.
"We're gunna have to get quite pushy aren't we!"

Martin Brundle hyping himself up to try an♒d speak to David Beckham
Brundle said: “There is a melee arou𒁃nd♚ him so we’ll have to get quite pushy!
“David, it’s Martin, Sky!”
But Beckham turned in the opposite direction to look at Max Verstappen’s Red Bull - the team whose team principal Christian Horඣner is, of course, also married to🐽 a Spice Girl.
“Th🐼at’s the s🔯econd time he’s blanked me,” Brundle said. “I didn’t even get a free-kick on that one!”
"Another one!"

That was everything we expected andꩵ🥂 more for DJ Khaled
Brundle then hilar🎀iously thought he had snared an exclusive with NFL superstar Pat💎rick Mahomes.
He all𝔉owed Mahomes to explain what a privilege it was to be stood on the𝔍 F1 grid pre-race… only to realise mid-interview that it wasn’t Mahomes.
It was Paolo Banchero, basketball prodigy expected to become the NBA N꧃o 1 draft pick.
“𓃲It’s not Patrick - that’s why he ignored me,” Brundle said in full earshot of Banchero.
Brundle, totally oblivious, ask🌳ed: “Wha💧t is your name?”
“Paolo Banchero.”
Brundle: “I thought I was talking to someb🍒ody else! So I’m 🌱sorry about that…”
And he muttered as he strolled off: “Whatever…”

The Sky Sports m🌠an grabbed a word with Venus and Serena Williams then, 🦄when tapping DJ Khalid on the shoulder, received a full rap in return.
“I’m not going to add any words to that,” Brundle said. “Beautifully summed upꦡ, sir!”
He also me🍃t Pharrell𒁏 Williams who said: I love Ferrari cars but Lewis Hamilton is my brother.”
