Awkward moment F1 TV presenter confuses VIP for Patrick Mahomes on Miami Grand Prix grid walk for the SECOND time

Martin Brundle has wrongly identified Patrick Mahomes once again, as the F1 commentator believed the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips to be the Chiefs quarterback on Sunday.

Two years ago, Brundle hilariously called out to current Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero (who had yet to be drafted) as ‘Patrick’ before realizing he had misidentified the basketball player.

And a similar thing happened before Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, as Brundle was fooled during his famous grid walk.

While he was was looking for the Kansas City star, he said ‘That’s Patrick Mahomes, isn’t it’?’

Mahomes is in fact in attendance, though Brundle was not looking at him – but rather Phillips – during the humorous sequence.

The gaffe comes two years after Brundle thought he was talking to Mahomes when he was actually speaking with Banchero.

‘It’s not Patrick, that’s why he ignored me,’ a bemused Brundle told a Sky Sports camera that followed him into the crowd next to the race track.

‘What is your name, sir?’ he then asked, before apologizing: ‘Well I thought I was talking to somebody else, I’m sorry about that.’

Brundle previously mistook NBA star Paolo Banchero for Mahomes at the 2022 Miami race

Banchero was a good sport about the incident, writing on X afterwards, ‘I’m just vibing right now man.’

Mahomes found it funny as well, writing, ‘Bro ain’t no way,’ followed by four laughing emojis.’

Banchero was unable to make it to Miami this year as his Magic squad had a first round Game 7 to play at the Cavs, which ended in a Cleveland win.

Meanwhile, Mahomes’ Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce was also seen at the race.
