“It’s not Patrick, and that’s why you ignored me at first. What’s your title, sir?” Brundle, 62, requested, to which the 6-foot-10 Banchero launched himself.

As soon as correctly acquainted with Banchero, Brundle mentioned, “Properly, I believed I used to be speaking to any individual else. I’m sorry about that,” earlier than he exited stage left and muttered “no matter” into the mic.

Mahomes, in the meantime, was in Miami over the weekend, the place he took within the race with spouse Brittany Matthews, whom he married in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii in March.
