Martin Brundle found himself in quite the unusual situation during his famous grid walk at the Miami Grand Prix, having to tell off American chat show star Jimmy Fallon for some rather bizarre behaviour.
The Sky Sports commentator was left with no choice but to reprimand the Tonight Show host after Fallon decided to pop Brundle's microphone wind shield straight into his mouth during their pre-race encounter.
It's fair to say the veteran broadcaster wasn't impressed with Fallon's antics, making it clear the American had crossed a line with his impromptu mic-munching moment.
The incident was just one of several colourful celebrity interactions Brundle experienced during his customary wander around the grid.

Fallon's greeting was nothing short of enthusiastic when Brundle approached him on the grid.
"Oh my God, Martin Brundle! What are you up to? What do you need? Can I get anything for you?" the American exclaimed.
The chat show host then launched into a rather frantic rundown of his Miami experience, declaring his support for Red Bull and Max Verstappen while insisting the Dutch driver would "crush it."
"I've been here, hanging out, good restaurants, good people, good fun. It's loud, and it's exciting.
"I'm so happy to see you, I was hoping to see you. This is the highlight," Fallon rambled while gesturing wildly at the camera.
Brundle wasted no time making his feelings known: "Do not take my mic sock again," he said firmly before moving on.

The Fallon encounter wasn't the only memorable moment from Brundle's eventful stroll around the Miami grid.
The Sky Sports man also found himself featuring on DJ Khaled's livestream as he made his way through the paddock, adding another unexpected twist to his pre-race wanderings.
Shortly after the Fallon incident, Brundle bumped into Hollywood star Colin Farrell, who matched the American host's energy levels.
"It's lovely to meet you," Farrell told the broadcaster with a grin. "After all of these years, you don't write, you don't call. Look at this shirt. Old school."
It's safe to say Brundle's Miami grid walk delivered plenty of entertainment before the race even began.
