Lewis Capaldi was snubbed by Martin Brundle<\/p>\n

Martin Brundle was up to his old tricks on Sunday afternoon<\/a> as he walked up and down the F1 grid in Singapore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brundle thought he had spotted Scottish singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi<\/a> and approached the man. However, after calling over “Lewis”, Brundle quickly realised it was a case of mistaken identity when the actual Capaldi appeared behind him.<\/p>\n

However, the cringe of the interview had only just got started when Capaldi went for a handshake at the end – only to be snubbed by Brundle who was already looking for his next interviewee.<\/p>\n

“Not Martin Brundle calling Lewis Capaldi’s brother Lewis and then missing Lewis Capaldi’s handshake as well,” one fan joked on social media.<\/p>\n

“Martin Brundle just had a shocker there…firstly mistaking Lewis Capaldi\u2019s brother as Lewis Capaldi. Then leaving Lewis Capaldi hanging for a handshake when he later joined,” a second said.<\/p>\n

“Lewis Capaldi took it well, a Martin Brundle grid walk at his best,” a third shared. While a third posted: “God I love a Martin Brundle grid walk!”<\/p>\n

And another added: “Martin Brundle gives me so much second hand embarrassment! Omg he makes me physically cringe…”<\/p>\n

It was another disappointing session for Lewis Hamilton, who was looking to get something out of the backend of the season for Ferrari.<\/p>\n

“Q1, the car and tyres were feeling good but Q2 run one was fairly decent but then we are the last in the queue often and losing a lot of temperature in the tyres and every time we do that we fall further and further back.<\/p>\n

“It happens every single weekend,” said Hamilton, who is starting sixth on the grid.<\/p>\n

“The guys on pole went out quicker with less waiting in the pit lane. It’s an area we can improve on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Capaldi was left red-faced during a mortifying F1 interview during Martin Brundle’s grid walk when he was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[1687,372,6537,2164,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-180351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-f1","9":"tag-formula-1","10":"tag-formula1","11":"tag-lewis-capaldi","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
