Martin Brundle’s hilarious F1 grid walk - mistaken identity & blanked by Becks
The grid was packed with a who’s who of the celebrity and sports world at Formula O🧔ne’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 h🧔im only 🧸to be denied.
"We're gunna have to get quite pushy aren't we!"

Martin Brundle hyping himself up to try and speak to David B💧eckham
Brundle said: “There is a melee around him so we’ll have to g⛎et quite puಞshy!
“David, it’s Martin, Sky!”
But Beckham turned in t🏅he opposite direction to look at Max Verstappen’s Red Bull - the team whose team principal Christian Horner is, of course, also married to a Spice Girl.
“That’s the second time he’s blanked me𝓡,” Brundle said. “I didn’t even get a free-kick on that one!”
"Another one!"

That was everythi🔯ng we expected and more for DJ Khaled
Brund🌞le then hilariously thought he had snared an exclusive with NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes.
He allowed Mahomes to explain wha💫t a pꦿrivilege it was to be stood on the F1 grid pre-race… only to realise mid-interview that it wasn’t Mahomes.
It was Paolo Banchero, basketball prodigy expected to becomeℱ the NBA No 1 draft pick.
“It’s not Patrick - that’s why🐷 he ignored me,” Brundle said in full earshot of Banchero.
Brundle𒈔, totally o♛blivious, asked: “What is your name?”
“Paolo Banchero.”
Brundle: “I thought I was talking to somebody else! So I’m sorry a🌟bout that…”
And he muttered as he strolled off: “Whatever…”
Bro ain’t no way

The Sky Sports man grabb♋ed a word with Venus and Sereꦚna 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 ꦓsummed up, sir!”
He also met Pharrell Williams who said: I love Ferrari cars but Lewis Hamilton is my b🌊rother.”
