Martin Brundle makes Thibaut Courtois blunder as F1 fans all say the same thing

Martin Brundle suffered an embarrassing mishap as he spoke to Thibaut Courtois at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Brundle bumped into the Real Madrid goalkeeper on his grid walk in Monte Carlo, having already chatted to the likes of pop star Kylie Monigue and film legend Orlando Bloom. But in a chaotic five minutes that included Brundle apologising after a member of Red Bull staff swore live on air, the legendary broadcaster made a boo-boo of his own as he spoke to Courtois.

"As a Spaniard, you've got Fernando Alonso and the lovely Carlos Sainz," Brundle began, initially failing to realise that the ex-Chelsea stopper is, in fact, Belgian. The shot stopper glossed over Brundle's mistake, replying: "Ye indeed."

"In Spain, we are rooting a lot for this victory of Fernando. He's in a good starting position today so lets see what can happen." As he exited the chat, Brundle realised his error in calling Courtois Spanish. He said: "And of course he's Belgian, not Spanish."

Nevertheless, the interaction still garnered plenty of comments on social media. One person wrote: "Martin Brundle calling Thibaut Courtois Spanish perfectly sums up his grid walk."

Others wrote: "Martin Brundle calling Thibaut Courtois Spanish this guys grid walks never fail to disappoint" And: "Lmao not Brundle thinking Courtois is Spanish."
