Martin Brundle walks past Premier League footballer during Monaco GP gridwalk
Martin Brundle inadvertently walked past a Premier League footballer on the Monaco Grand Prix gridwalk on his way to speak to Morgan Gibbs-White.
Nottingham Forest star Gibbs-White, who missed out on England's World Cup squad, was on the Monte-Carlo grid looking at Max Verstappen's Red Bull.
Brundle walked over to Verstappen's grid slot, before spotting Gibbs-White and walking towards him for a quick chat.
But he didn't realise that he was stood next to Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as he spotted Gibbs-White.

"Brundle not having a clue who Curtis Jones was at the F1 there," one fan wrote on Twitter.
"Brundle missing out Curtis Jones and wanting Morgan Gibbs-White for an interview," another said.
"Martin Brundle walked straight past Curtis Jones at the Grand Prix lol," a third laughed.
As he approached Gibbs-White, though, Brundle was told by an official that he did not have enough time to speak to the Nottingham Forest.
"He's being slung out," Brundle said.
Brundle did have more success with actresses Karen Gillan and Cynthia Erivo, who both stopped to talk to him on the grid, as well as five-time F1 race winner John Watson.
That wasn't the case when it came to Kim Kardashian, who is at the Grand Prix to support Lewis Hamilton.
In what was a slightly awkward exchange, Kardashian smiled in Brundle's direction as he approached and waved towards him, but then didn't answer when he asked a question.
"Normally people have a quick chat with us," Brundle said.

"Kim and Khloe [her sister] aren't talking today," he later told viewers. "Allegedly they might do later."
Once the race got underway, Verstappen lost power shortly after starting his Red Bull and fell to the back of the field before then retiring from the Grand Prix.
The Dutchman reported that he had suffered from power issues during the formation lap before his subsequent DNF.
