What a difference a year makes. At the 2022 Miami Grand Prix , ESPN racing commentator Martin Brundle was mistaking 6-foot-10 NBA prospect Paolo Banchero for 6-foot-3 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes . And he got zinged for it.

Fast-forward to Sundays 2023 Miami Grand Prix. Brundle, the British racing maven and ex-Formula 1 driver, and Banchero, the NBA No. 1 draft pick who became Rookie of the Year for the Orlando Magic, reunited before the start. (Watch the video below.)

This time, Brundle correctly identified Banchero, noted that he didnt get the players name right last year and moved on with this gem of an interview starter: What a year youve had since you made me infamous.

Its been a helluva year and Im honored that you know my name now, man, a smiling Banchero said. Its been a helluva year and youre great at what you do.

So, now that Brundle has closed the circle on that moment, maybe he can get Brad Pitt for an interview at a Grand Prix race down the line. A previous effort didnt work out so well.

During last year's F1 Miami Grand Prix, Martin Brundle thought Paolo Banchero was Patrick Mahomes.

This year, he got it right @ESPNF1 @Pp_doesit | @PatrickMahomes pic.twitter.com/par8XdzFRc
