“If I May Be So Bold & Call You Senorita?”: F1 Legend Publicly Flirts With Camila Cabello Despite His Controversial History

The Formula 1 Circus has arrived in America for the first of the three races in the 2024 season. And as always, there is a flurry of stars and celebrities who find themselves in the hustle and bustle of the F1 paddock in Miami. Camila Cabello, singer of ‘Senorita’, a song with over 2 billion streams on Spotify bumped into F1 expert, Martin Brundle during his grid walk before the Grand Prix. And Brundle (64) had just the perfect cheeky line to greet her despite getting roasted for his interview with Megan Thee Stallion in the past.

The Grid Walk that happens minutes before the start of a Grand Prix is one of Brundle’s most cherished contributions to the sport of Formula 1. This pre-race ritual sees him meeting with drivers, team bosses, and even celebrities as he makes his way up the grid just before the national anthem, capturing the electric atmosphere of F1’s most pivotal moment. What’s even more interesting about Brundle’s grid walk is that he keeps his grid walk unscripted and unrehearsed, believing it adds to the spontaneity and excitement.

And with the number of celebrities attending the Miami Grand Prix, he was sure to run into a few of them. And indeed he did. He met Camila Cabello, one of the most celebrated American singers and songwriters and a founding member of the girl group Fifth Harmony. To greet her, Brundle referenced one of her most iconic songs with his ex-boyfriend, Shawn Mendis, “Senorita.”

However, what he didn’t know was that he was about to receive a similar striking response from Cabello. When Martin Brundle said, “If I may be so bold and call you ‘Señorita’?”, Cabello responded candidly saying, “Wow, you know your stuff!” The two might never have met before, but they are sure to remember this cheeky little encounter before the start of the Miami Grand Prix.

Cabello was also spotted earlier in the day with the 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
