Fans were quick to have their say after Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka seemingly refused to be interviewed at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday (June 1).

Saka, 23, was among several footballers – including Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, Everton’s Jordan Pickford and Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski – in attendance at the Spanish GP at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Ahead of the race, a reporter tried to secure a quick interview with Saka.

“Bukayo, can we have a quick word, we are live on Sky Sports?” Sky Sports’ Simon Lazenby asked.

"I've got nothing to say," Saka answered.

“We'll move on then..." the presenter replied.

Nico Rosberg added: "That was not very friendly..."

Then after speaking to Pierre Gasly, Rosberg continued: "Better than that soccer player from before"

Fans were quick to have their say on the awkward moment on social media.

One fan said: "Was that Saka straight up rejecting Sky Sports."

Another added: "Nico Rosberg gives no f***s, calling Saka out to his face!"

A third commented: "Didn't have Saka down as the arrogant type, Arteta having an effect on him clearly."

As a fourth exclaimed: "Pipe down Saka lad, you’ve never won anything."

A fifth slammed: "I say it every time but if you're privileged enough to be invited on the grid itself, give up a little bit of your time and don't be rude. *cough* Bukayo Saka."

However, his England teammate Harry Kane did stop for a brief chat.

Kane said: "I'm good, I'm hot, it's roasting but looking forward to the race. It's my first one, I watch F1 as much as I can. A few of the English guys doing well this season so I'm looking forward to seeing them.

"I love Lando, he's been doing great this year and he's got a great chance in the championship.

"For him it's all about preparation and going out there and being free. He knows he can do it so hopefully he can go all the way."

Several other members of the England squad, including Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Crystal Palace's Ebe Eze were spotted on the grid.

The Three Lions will return to action with a World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Saturday 7 June before a friendly against Senegal on Tuesday 10 June.
