Martin Brundle famed grid walk has been a popular feature of the build-up to the F1 Grand Prix.
Who are some of the persons he has spoken with?
Martin Brundle’s name was trending on Twitter again six months after his Megan Thee Stallion incident. This time during a crowded Miami Grand Prix. Brundle was given the difficult chore of making his way through the grid walk as almost every celebrity in the world converged on the Miami International Autodrome circuit ahead of Sunday’s inauguration.
How Long Has MARTIN BRUNDLE Been Doing His F1 Grid Walk?
While the interview with Mario Andretti and Zak Brown began on familiar terms, with the McLaren CEO offering the 82-year-old a drive in the vehicle in Austin, Brundle’s mission grew a bit more difficult when he sought to question others outside of the sport.
Thankfully, there were no bodyguard incidents like there was the previous time F1 visited the United States. But one noteworthy occasion happened when Brundle believed he spotted Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
MARTIN BRUNDLE Grid Walk
Brundle began speaking to the plainly not Mahomes individual when someone in his earpiece clearly informed Brundle that he had the incorrect man.
He was really speaking with Paolo Banchero, a 19-year-old basketball star, who, to his credit, was eager to speak with Brundle. Banchero observed that the drivers were “locked in,” which reminded him of himself.
Brundle then informed Banchero that he believed he was Mahomes, at which the two men shook hands and smiled. Prior to this episode of mistaken identification, Serena and Venus Williams gave Brundle the cold shoulder.
The grid walk was also not completed there. DJ Khaled followed, finishing his 26-second speech hyping up Miami with his famous “another one!”
Who has he interviewed?
Brundle was followed by another music artist, Pharrell Williams. He started his support for Ferrari before randomly promoting Richard Mille’s timepieces. With the clock running down before the start of the race. There was just time for one more interview with David Beckham.
Brundle stated that he would “have to get very forceful” to approach the Inter Miami co-owner. But to his credit, he did so only to have the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player walk away from him.
Brundle then resignedly commented that it was the second time Beckham’s hand blanked him before eventually getting a brief word with him. He was eventually allowed to return to the comforting surroundings of the commentary box. Martin’s plight.
