Martin Brundle hilariously mistakes Paolo Banchero for Patrick Mahomes

Live television is difficult enough to pull off. Put a fish out of water in the form of a former Formula 1 driver trying to identify American sports stars in a crowd and, well, you get Martin Brundle's Sunday afternoon.

Brundle was conducting his traditional pre-race grid walk ahead of the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday when — he and his producers thought — he'd spotted NFL superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. Trouble is, it was actually former Duke star and likely NBA lottery pick Paolo Banchero.

While Banchero and Mahomes both sport high fades, the similarities end there.
