MARTIN BRUNDLE has broken his silence on his toe-curling gridwalk at the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, admitting he dislikes doing them.
The former McLaren ace has been walking the grid trying to get interviews with drivers and celebrities pre-race since 1997.
And at the inaugural Miami GP, Brundle delivered one of the most chaotic gridwalks yet.
The popular F1 pundit brushed shoulders with the likes of DJ Khaled and Britain’s own David Beckham.
But Brundle struggled with some of the lesser names on the grid.
He mistook basketballer Paolo Banchero for NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, which to viewers was both “incredibly awkward and hysterically funny”.

Kansas City Chiefs star Mahomes wrote in response: “Bro ain’t no way…”
Brundle cooked Gianluca Vacchi, who appeared to be full of himself, with a quick-witted response saying “and modest too”.
But the 62-year-old has admitted he doesn’t like doing the gridwalk at all.
He took to Twitter: “There’s a reason why I’ve never watched back an F1 gridwalk in a quarter of a century of doing them.

“You have no idea how much I dislike doing them but somehow those crazy moments have defined my professional career.
“Oh well, that’s the way it is.”
