F1 Grid Mix-Up

Brundle Muddles Films and Netflix in Front of Grant

During the grid walk, Brundle approached Grant near Ferrari's VIP area, where rock legend Brian May was also present. Brundle asked Grant about his role in The Gentlemen — but referred to the Netflix series that launched in 2024, not the Guy Ritchie film Grant actually appeared in five years earlier. Grant quickly set the record straight, telling Brundle he was not part of the Netflix version, according to TV Insider.

Brundle attempted to recover by saying it was a good series anyway. The moment was live, unscripted, and broadcast to millions of viewers watching the British Grand Prix build-up on Sky Sports. TDPEL Media noted the exchange gained immediate traction on social media after airing.

Grant Rattles Off His Recent Roles Mid-Interview

As Brundle pressed Grant on his acting work, Grant gave a self-deprecating rundown of his recent films. He said he was 'barely in' Glass Onion and described his role in Wonka as playing an Oompa Loompa. The candid, slightly dismissive summary of his own career got a strong reaction, according to AOL.

Grant was at Silverstone purely as a Ferrari fan, not to promote any project. He brought his sons John and Felix to the race, making it a family day out rather than a professional appearance. That context made Brundle's attempt to quiz him about streaming credits feel even more misplaced, Yahoo reported.

The Netflix Gentlemen Series Behind the Confusion

The mix-up was easy to make. Guy Ritchie created a Netflix spin-off series called The Gentlemen, which launched in 2024. Season 2 began filming in August 2024 and wrapped in October 2025, with a planned autumn release on Netflix. The series shares a name and tone with the 2019 film but features a different cast, which is where Brundle went wrong, according to TDPEL Media.

Brundle's Grid Walk Blunders Have a Long History

Brundle is famous for his chaotic grid walks, where he interviews celebrities and drivers in the minutes before a race. One of his most-shared earlier blunders came at the Singapore Grand Prix, when he failed to recognize singer Lewis Capaldi. That moment also went viral. At Silverstone this year, Brundle spotted Capaldi in the crowd and shared a hug with him, turning a past embarrassment into a light moment, Cadillac News reported.

The Grant clip fits a pattern that fans of the show know well. Brundle operates at high speed under pressure, often approaching stars he has only seconds to identify and engage. Mistakes happen. But the combination of a confident correction from a Hollywood star and a live broadcast makes each stumble impossible to ignore, according to TV Insider.
