Lewis Capaldi Snubbed During F1 Grid Walk Interview
In an unexpected twist during the Singapore F1 Grand Prix, Scottish singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi found himself in an awkward situation during Martin Brundle’s famed grid walk for Sky Sports. The mix-up began when Brundle mistakenly identified Capaldi’s brother as the singer himself. His realization came moments before the actual Lewis Capaldi stepped forward. The situation became even more uncomfortable as the interview ended with Capaldi extending his hand for a handshake, only to be left hanging by Brundle, who had already moved on to his next target.

Fans and viewers quickly shared their amusement on social media, with many poking fun at Brundle’s blunder. Comments ranged from playful jests about the mistaken identity incident to reactions expressing second-hand embarrassment over the handshake snub. A particular social media user remarked, “Not Martin Brundle calling Lewis Capaldi’s brother Lewis and then missing his handshake as well,” reflecting the widespread reaction online.
