The music artist was attempting to get the legendary broadcaster to do an air guitar impression live on air.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brundle was navigating his trademark grid walk segment having already chatted with Aston Martin reserve driver Felipe Drugovich and Brazilian football legend Marta when he came across Machine Gun Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the <em>Sky Sports F1<\/em> broadcaster, the chat went atrociously with fans left cringing at the 33-year-old&#8217;s nonchalant attitude to the interview.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After introducing himself and asking how the music artist was doing, Machine Gun Kelly &#8211; whose real name is Colson Baker &#8211; stared blankly before stating: &#8220;I have no idea what you said, but thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Max Verstappen makes \u2018dangerous\u2019 comment as Sergio Perez Red Bull future decided[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brundle then repeated his welcome to the grid, to which Baker said: &#8220;Thank you, thank you.

I don&#8217;t think about it.&#8221; He was duly wished good luck by Brundle, who went on to ask what he thinks about F1.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This business is great,&#8221; Baker replied. &#8220;It&#8217;s loud, your life is on the line, that&#8217;s exciting.
