Machine Gun Kelly's F1 Interview Creates Social Media Buzz, Claims Anxiety as Cause of Awkward Exchange

Interview with Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle at the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix goes viral, with social media users labelling it 'cringeworthy'.

Machine Gun Kelly's interview with Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle at the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix went viral due to evident awkwardness. The artist questioned Brundle about his own business and even suggested an 'air guitar and air piano collaboration'.
The artist blamed his anxiety for the awkward interview, stating in a later post on X (formerly Twitter) that his anxiety had 'won'. He didn't directly mention Brundle or F1, but fans believed these posts were a response to the uncomfortable interview.
During the interview, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) responded to a question about his career saying, 'I don’t think about my career. I don’t think about it', which led to some social media users describing the interview as 'cringeworthy'.
In response to the backlash, MGK defended himself against critical social media comments, suggesting he was put on the spot by the unexpected interview and found it hard to concentrate due to the loud noise of the car engines.
Martin Brundle also made light of the situation in his social media posts, joking that his awkward encounters, including this one with MGK and a previous one with Megan Thee Stallion, have become his 'claim to fame'.
