"I have no idea what you said, but thank you": When Machine Gun Kelly had an awkward exchange with F1 commentator Martin Brundle

Veteran F1 commentator Martin Brundle is known for his grid walk prior to every race weekend. Brundle, who represents Sky Sports F1, always walks on the grid and speaks to celebrity guests at every event. On one such occasion, during the 2023 Sao Paulo GP, he met renowned American rapper and songwriter Machine Gun Kelly, and their conversation turned out to be a classic.

MGK was one of the guests at the Brazilian race in 2023. As he was present on the grid before the race, Brundle found him and went to have a conversation. After approaching MGK, Brundle said:

"Martin Brundle of Sky F1, good to see you. Welcome to our grid."

Replying to this, MGK said:

"I've no idea what you said but thank you."

Brundle replied:

"I said welcome to the grid."

To this, MGK further added:

"Ah, thank you, thank you. Honored to be here."

Following this, Brundle asked:

"Tell us about your career at the moment, is that pumping?"

Unsure of Brundle's question, MGK asked:

"Well, what you saying?"

Brundle repeated the question:

"Tell us about your career, what's going on for you?"

Finally, MGK said about his career:

"Ah my career. I don't think about my career. I don't think about it."

A disappointed Brundle then closed the conversation with:

"Well well, tell you what, good luck with whatever you do."

Here's the video of Martin Brundle's awkward interaction with Machine Gun Kelly at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace:

"Well, you're Martin's random person, the first one of the year. How are you and what are you doing on the grid?"

Su replied again:

"I'm doing great, I'm with AMD, so we're sponsoring the Ferrari car."

Brundle stated:

"Okay yes, right. So you've got VIP access. Look you've got access everywhere by the looks of it. That's the secret, become the sponsor of Ferrari.

Lisa Su concluded:

"Yes, thank you. That's great. Fantastic."

Martin Brundle concluded:
