Martin Brundle has finally broken his silence on that unforgettable moment with Jimmy Fallon during the Miami Grand Prix grid walk. The Sky Sports F1 legend found himself in an unexpected situation when the "Tonight Show" host grabbed his microphone and actually bit the cover during their pre-race encounter.
It was another star-studded affair at the Miami International Autodrome, where celebrities flock to soak in the F1 atmosphere. As Brundle navigated through the crowded grid, he spotted Fallon and approached for what should have been a routine chat. Instead, Fallon decided to make it anything but routine, snatching the microphone and taking a bite out of the foam cover.
Never one to miss a beat, Brundle quickly reclaimed his gear with a firm "Don't do that again." Later, he took to social media with his signature dry wit: "In 30 years of broadcasting I've never wondered what a branded microphone sock tastes like. There's some very funny people around."
Fans absolutely loved the exchange. One commented, "I love when these celebrities are overwhelmed when Martin appears, it's refreshing to see they acknowledge you," while another added, "Your interviews are always top entertainment, Martin!"
Fallon was attending as a guest of Red Bull and Racing Bulls, adding another chapter to Brundle's legendary grid walk history. Over the years, these pre-race strolls have produced countless memorable moments, from Megan Thee Stallion's security team blocking his path in Austin to Cara Delevingne's awkward rejection at Silverstone, and Machine Gun Kelly's bizarre air guitar performance in Brazil.
Meanwhile, on track, Kimi Antonelli continued his dominant form, securing his third consecutive win at the Miami Grand Prix. The young Italian was joined on the podium by McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, while Mercedes teammate George Russell and Red Bull's Max Verstappen rounded out the top five.
Whether it's podium celebrations or celebrity encounters that go viral, the Miami Grand Prix always delivers entertainment both on and off the track.
