Martin Brundle Quips After Jimmy Fallon Bites His Mic Cover on Miami GP Grid

The light exchange highlights Brundle’s grid-walk knack for turning celebrity moments into viral sideshows.

Overview

  • During his pre-race grid walk at the Miami Grand Prix, Brundle met Jimmy Fallon, who grabbed the Sky Sports microphone and bit the foam cover.
  • Brundle quickly took the mic back and told Fallon, “Don’t do that again,” in a brief on-air exchange.
  • After the race, Brundle posted on X that he had never wondered what a branded microphone sock tastes like, signaling a playful tone.
  • Coverage and fan comments framed the moment as harmless fun, with no reports of complaints or fallout.
  • Fallon attended as a guest of Red Bull, a reminder that Miami’s celebrity-packed grid often produces viral clips alongside the racing, which Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli won ahead of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
