PATRICK Mahomes appeared at the Miami Grand Prix, but an F1 reporter once again misidentified another celebrity as the Kansas City Chiefs star.
The sequence occurred before Sunday’s F1 race at the Miami International Speedway.
Sky Sports reporter Martin Brindle was looking to interview celebrities ahead of the Miami Grand Prix festivities.
However, on live television, Brindle thought a VIP on the grid was Mahomes, but the former F1 driver was wrong.
“That’s the guy, isn’t he?” Brundle said, looking at a man walking past him.
It turned out that the person he thought was Mahomes was Miami Dolphins star linebacker Jaelan Phillips.

Brundle’s mistake was similar to the one made at the first Miami Grand Prix in 2022.
The 64-year-old thought he was interviewing Mahomes when he was Paulo Banchero of the Orlando Magic.
The moment came just weeks after Banchero was drafted No. 1 overall by the Magic.
Brundle shouted “Patrick” to Banchero, who did not respond, but the TV commentator continued and asked questions until he realized his mistake.

Mahomes is a shareholder in Alpine and was also seen with his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce.
They invested in Alpine late last year as part of a new investment group.
“I think everyone can see the appeal,” Mahomes said.
“I’ve been able to take part in a few races now, seeing the environment and obviously watching the (Formula 1 🙂 Drive to survive on Netflix you see how competitive it is.
“Anytime you get the opportunity to participate in this, I mean, I’m as competitive as anyone can be, so hopefully this can open up some great opportunities and we can go to some of these races and have a little stake in the game.”
NFL stars weren’t the only big names at the Miami Grand Prix.
They were seen alongside French football legend Zinedine Zidane in the Alpine garage before the race.
