Awkward Moment F1 TV Presenter Mistakes VIP for Patrick Mahomes on Miami Grand Prix Grid for the SECOND Time
Martin Brundle has once again misidentified Patrick Mahomes as the F1 commentator thought the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips was the Chiefs’ quarterback on Sunday.
Two years ago, Brundle hilariously referred to current Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero (who had not yet been drafted) as “Patrick” before realizing he had misidentified the basketball player.
And a similar thing happened before the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, when Brundle was fooled during his famous grid walk.
As he looked for the Kansas City star, he said, “It’s Patrick Mahomes, right”? »
Mahomes is indeed present, even if Brundle was not looking at him – but rather at Phillips – during the humorous sequence.

Brundle was actually watching Jaelan Phillips, a linebacker for his hometown Miami Dolphins.
The gaffe comes two years after Brundle thought he was talking to Mahomes when he was actually talking to Banchero.
“It’s not Patrick, that’s why he ignored me,” a perplexed Brundle told a Sky Sports camera following 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 someone else, I’m sorry.”

Patrick Mahomes is indeed present at the Miami Grand Prix this year, but he did not overtake Brundle
Banchero was a good sport about the incident, later writing on X: “I’m just vibing right now, man.”
Mahomes also found it funny, writing, “My brother is not possible,” followed by four laughing emojis.
Banchero was unable to travel to Miami this year because his Magic team had a first-round game to play against the Cavs, which ended in a win in Cleveland.
Meanwhile, Mahomes’ Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce was also seen running.
