FORMULA One fans were treated to a hilarious gridwalk from Martin Brundle – who interviewed the likes of David Beckham, DJ Khaled and someone who he thought was NFL star Patrick Mahomes.
The popular F1 pundit usually conducts pre-race interviews on the grid with celebrities who have attended.

The first-ever Miami Grand Prix attracted the rich and famous from across the States, including the likes of former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Brundle made a beeline for the biggest names, but found himself in a hilarious muddle as he mistook basketballer Paolo Banchero for NFL legend Patrick Mahomes.
With an entertaining interview with rapper DJ Khaled another highlight, fans could not contain delight as Brundle made his way through celebrities and failed to recognise some of them.
Piers Morgan was among those hailing Brundle’s performance.
Other fans also enjoyed the worlds of F1 and celebrity colliding. One wrote: “When Brundle was chatting to DJ Khaled I couldn’t breath for laughing. Not sure what was happening.”
Another hailed it as “the most awkward Martin Brundle grid walk ever”, with the pre-race event now a tradition for F1 fans.
It went mainstream last year when Brundle clashed with Megan Thee Stallion’s entourage.
Undoubtedly the most memorable moment this year came in the form of Brundle’s Mahomes clanger, which left fans beside themselves.
Others found the whole thing too cringey.
One tweeter said: “That brief interview with DJ Khaled on the grid was the most painful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. My soul left my body, my toes curled, and I feel bad for Martin Brundle.”

Brundle also enjoyed slightly more straightforward interviews with David Beckham – once he caught the England legend’s attention – and the Williams sisters.
