Martin Brundle congratulates Conor Benn in awkward Miami GP grid walk blunder
Martin Brundle made an unfortunate error during his grid walk at the Miami Grand Prix, congratulating Conor Benn on a boxing victory against Chris Eubank Jr that never happened. Benn’s fight went the full 12 rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, but despite the 28-year-old’s best efforts, the judges unanimously agreed on a 116-112 scorecard in favour of Eubank Jr.
This was clearly news to Brundle, who approached the boxing icon during his grid walk ahead of the Miami GP. “Conor, Martin Brundle, Sky F1,” the co-commentator said, introducing himself. “Wow, what a boxing match that was, congratulations!”
