Gordon Ramsay swiftly set the record straight after Sky Sports legend suggested he'd been snubbed an invite to the celebrity chef's Miami Grand Prix dining hotspot. The culinary maestro and die-hard fan flew in from London for the race after attending 50th birthday festivities.
58, boasts two exquisite establishments in the city - Lucky Cat Miami and Hell's Kitchen Miami. Both venues extended their gourmet appeal through pop-up versions during the Grand Prix weekend, yet former racing driver Brundle seemed to be left off the guest list. In the midst of his pre-racer grid walk, Brundle encountered Ramsay and quipped: "I didn't manage to come round and try any of your food out in the paddock. I'm not sure I've been invited, actually."
Ramsay responded, assuring him: "You're invited anytime, you know that. The food's very good indeed. We've got a little tiny pop-up place."
When it came down to predicting the outcome on the track, Ramsay nailed it, forecasting another triumph for championship leader Oscar Piastri. He said: "I think Oscar's got this one. Lando's looking strong but Max's back in front [on pole]."
There was an awkward moment earlier in the grid walk when Brundle with Chris Eubank Jr, despite the fact he lost their thrilling bout on points. Brundle said: "What a boxing match that was, what a result, congratulations."
Benn kept his composure after the slip-up, simply responding with gratitude: "Thank you, I appreciate that." He added: "Although it was a great fight I didn't get the W [win] which I came for so hopefully we can run it back in September and I can make amends."
The race saw Piastri capitalise on the tussle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in the opening corners. With Norris dropping back, Piastri eventually passed Verstappen and cruised off into the distance. The Australian later faced pressure from a recovering Norris, but was still 4.6 seconds behind at the chequered flag.
Verstappen, who lost out during a safety car period, found himself trailing behind Mercedes' George Russell, who secured third place on the podium. Alex Albon clinched fifth for Williams, followed by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.
The frustrated Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were seventh and eighth, with Williams' Carlos Sainz and Verstappen's Red Bull team-mate Yuki Tsunoda rounding out the points.
