Martin Brundle has once again misidentified Patrick Mahomes, as the F1 commentator believed the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips was the Chiefs’ quarterback on Sunday.
Two years ago, Brundle hilariously called current Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero (who had not yet been drafted) as ‘Patrick’ before realizing he had misidentified the basketball player.
And something similar happened before Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, when Brundle was tricked during his famous walk around the grid.
While looking for the Kansas City star, he said, ‘That’s Patrick Mahomes, right?’
In fact, Mahomes is present, although Brundle was not looking at him, but at Phillips, during the humorous sequence.
Martin Brundle thought Patrick Mahomes had walked next to him during his gridiron walk on Sunday.
Brundle was actually looking at Jaelan Phillips, a linebacker for his hometown Miami Dolphins.
The mistake 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 bemused Brundle told a Sky Sports camera following him through the crowd next to the racetrack.
‘What is your name sir?’ He then asked, before apologizing: “Well, I thought I was talking to someone else, sorry.”

In fact, Patrick Mahomes is at this year’s Miami Grand Prix, but he didn’t pass Brundle.
Banchero was very attentive to the incident and later wrote on X: “I’m vibing right now, man.”
Mahomes also thought it was funny, writing, “Bro, no way,” followed by four laughing emojis.
Banchero was unable to make it to Miami this year as his Magic team had a first-round Game 7 to play against the Cavs, which ended with a Cleveland victory.
Meanwhile, Mahomes’ Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce was also seen on the run.
