Martin Brundle interaction with Lewis Capaldi before British GP goes viral after he mistook him for brother

Martin Brundle's exchange with Lewis Capaldi on the British Grand Prix gridwalk quickly got everyone talking - after the singer was hilariously mistaken for his brother last season.

Brundle bumped into the Capaldi brothers ahead of the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix, and approached what he thought was Lewis for a question - but it was in fact his brother, Anthony.

"I'm sorry!" Brundle shouted. "They said he had a cap on," having spotted Anthony wearing a cap.

At the end of the interview, Lewis stuck out his hand for a handshake with Brundle but the Sky F1 commentator didn't see it as he was looking towards the drivers congregating for the national anthem.

With Lewis on the grid again at Silverstone, Brundle was walking down the grid in search of potential interviewees when the Scottish singer stuck out his hand.

Brundle turned around and shook it, with the pair exchanging pleasantries before Brundle brilliantly asked him: "Where's your bro? Is he on the grid somewhere?"

"He's here, somewhere. He's there, over there. He's obsessed - he loves it," Capaldi replied.

Brundle asked the Scottish musician about a flying lap of the Silverstone circuit he completed alongside Lando Norris, to which Capaldi remarked: "It was one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever done in my life. I'm glad they didn't film me from the waist down!"

At the end of their interview, the pair shared a second hug, with Brundle stating: "I'm not good at man-hugs, but I think that was a good one."

Reacting to the exchange, one fan joked: "Lewis Capaldi wasn't going to let Martin Brundle mug him off."

A second wrote: "Martin Brundle hugging the actual Lewis Capaldi this time."

"Loved seeing Brundle reading Lewis Capaldi's name badge to see who he was," another laughed.

While a fourth said: "Sir Chris Hoy and Lewis Capaldi on the same grid walk? Elite work from Martin Brundle."

After their exchange in Singapore, Brundle apologised to Capaldi on Twitter (X) for not seeing him to shake his hand.

"Sincere apologies Lewis, I turned around to the camera with an urgent three second count going on in my ears to wind up for the national anthem," he wrote.

"Had no idea you were trying to shake my hand. A cardinal sin on my part, which I hope to put right one day. Hope you enjoyed F1."
