F1 legend Martin Brundle issues apology after 'cardinal sin' at Singapore Grand Prix

Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle has issued a heartfelt apology to Lewis Capaldi after inadvertently snubbing the Scottish singer during his famous pre-race grid walk at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The awkward yet humorous moment, which quickly went viral, saw Brundle mistake Capaldi’s brother for the chart-topping musician before accidentally turning away mid-handshake.

The exchange began in typically chaotic fashion as Brundle approached Capaldi’s brother, Anthony, on the grid and enthusiastically declared: “Lewis, wonderful to see you.”

Anthony politely corrected him, replying, “I’m his brother”, prompting a good-natured laugh from Brundle as the real Lewis Capaldi appeared moments later to rescue the situation.

“I’m sorry, he’s got a cap on,” Brundle said through laughter before greeting the singer with, “How are you, how are you both?”

Capaldi, who performed on the Padang Stage ahead of Sunday’s race, took the mix-up in stride.

“Very nice to meet you, a big fan,” he told Brundle, before revealing that his brother was the bigger Formula One enthusiast.

“He’s here supporting McLaren,” Capaldi joked, pointing to Anthony.
