Brundle mistakes basketball star for NFL player in Miami GP gaffe<\/h3>\n

Martin Brundle could be in for a hugely awkward Las Vegas Grand Prix two weeks after he refused Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s request to play the air guitar. A whole host of A-List celebrities are expected to descend on Sunday\u2019s Nevada race, with David Beckham, Shaquille O’Neal and Kylie Minogue said to be among them.<\/p>\n

Brundle is well-known for his pre-race grid walks, where he roams the grid and speaks to drivers, celebrities and other notable figures he can track down. And he will be under the spotlight more than usual this weekend in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, musicians John Legend, Tiesto and will.i.am are set to perform at the event, while celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay will be making meals trackside. It\u2019s unknown whether any of those will make themselves available for an interview with Brundle, but there will be plenty of other stars who will be more than happy to give their thoughts to the Sky Sports reporter.<\/p>\n

Brundle is a seasoned campaigner when it comes to interviewing celebrities and won\u2019t be fazed by the prospect of speaking to some of the world\u2019s biggest stars. But he will be looking to avoid a repeat of his interaction with Machine Gun Kelly.<\/p>\n

Brundle approached the singer, whose real name is Colson Baker, ahead of the South American race and welcomed him to the grid. After an unbearable pause, Machine Gun Kelly replied: \u201cI have no idea what you said, but thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer fondled the poppy the reporter was wearing ahead of Remembrance Day as he was told: \u201cThat\u2019s a poppy.\u201d Brundle was then asked to repeat his second question after quizzing the singer about his career. \u201cI don\u2019t think about my career, I don\u2019t think about it,\u201d Machine Gun Kelly bluntly replied.<\/p>\n

He later revealed his thoughts on the F1 business as he explained: \u201cI think your business is great. It\u2019s loud, your life\u2019s on the line – that\u2019s exciting. I was in a studio the other week and Lewis Hamilton was in the other studio. That was nice. Yeah, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
