Machine Gun Kelly made his Formula 1 debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where an awkward exchange with Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle drew criticism on social media.

During the brief grid-walk interview, MGK seemed visibly uncomfortable, struggling to hear Brundle amid the noise of the crowd and racetrack. When asked about his career, MGK responded, “I don’t think about my career.”

The uncomfortable conversation continued, leading to MGK playfully asking Brundle to perform air piano alongside his air guitar. When Brundle seemed perplexed, MGK gave a thumbs-down and abruptly ended the interview. Brundle humorously remarked that he wouldn’t make MGK’s Christmas card list.

Online reactions were mixed, with some fans accusing MGK of being impolite and having a negative vibe. MGK defended himself on Twitter, citing the intrusive nature of the interview and the deafening car engines. He also shared his struggle with anxiety and discomfort in public settings.
