The Las Vegas Grand Prix grid walk is known for its star-studded atmosphere, with Formula 1 commentator Martin Brundle often interviewing a mix of celebrities.

This time, fans were treated to Brundle chatting with movie director Jerry Bruckheimer, Olympian Noah Lyles, and actors like Paul Mescal and Sylvester Stallone.

However, one notable celebrity did not make it into Brundle’s interview list.

The Missed Opportunity with Jenny McCarthy

Actress and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy was on the grid with her husband, former New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg, but Brundle didn’t get the chance to interview her.

After wrapping up an interview with Lyles and just before speaking to Mescal, Brundle started making his way toward the drivers, preparing for the national anthem.

That’s when someone tried to steer him towards McCarthy for an interview.

Brundle’s Casual Response

A man tapped Brundle on the shoulder, urging him to speak to McCarthy. But Brundle, unfazed, casually responded, “It’s okay,” before continuing on his path.

The F1 commentator wasn’t distracted, despite a technical issue preventing him from hearing anything from his producers.

He simply carried on with his grid walk, engaging with more drivers before the race kicked off.

Social Media Reactions

Fans quickly took to social media, amused by the way Brundle handled the situation. Many found humor in his nonchalant dismissal of the interview request.

One fan posted, “Martin Brundle wanted nothing to do with that Jenny McCarthy interview lmaoooo.”

Another user laughed, “Lmao, Martin Brundle ignoring Jenny McCarthy’s handler.”

Others shared similar reactions, with one commenting, “The only reason my wife watches F1 is because she loves the chaos Martin Brundle brings during those pre-race interviews. Just now someone tried to tell him, ‘It’s Jenny McCarthy!’ and he just walked away. Hahah.”

Another fan joked, “Absolutely DYING at someone chasing after Martin Brundle asking if he wanted to interview Jenny McCarthy and him just tossing a ‘that’s okay’ over his shoulder while continuing to walk away.”

A Competitive Race and Verstappen’s Triumph

While the celebrity antics on the grid were entertaining, the race itself also delivered some exciting moments.

The Mercedes team clinched a one-two finish, with George Russell taking the victory and Lewis Hamilton securing second place.

However, it was Max Verstappen who stole the spotlight, finishing ahead of Lando Norris to win his fourth consecutive World Driver’s Championship title.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix was filled with surprises, both on and off the track.

Fans will surely be talking about Brundle’s iconic dismissal for some time to come.
