Martin Brundle’s grid walk became a trending topic once again as he mistook a basketball player for Patrick Mahomes and was blanked by David Beckham.
Six months on from his Megan Thee Stallion incident, Martin Brundle’s name was once again trending on Twitter for his latest grid walk this time at a packed Miami Grand Prix.
As seemingly every celebrity in the world descended onto the Miami International Autodrome track ahead of Sunday’s inaugural, Brundle was given the unenviable task of pushing his way through as he made his customary grid walk.

The grid walk was not done there though. Next up was DJ Khaled who signed off his 26-second monologue hyping up Miami with his trademark “another one!”
Brundle followed it up with another music star in Pharrell Williams who said…
