Michael McIntyre's invitation to Martin Brundle 'shut down' during Monaco Grand Prix grid interview
Martin Brundle is not changing his schedule to appear on Michael McIntyre's The Wheel.
The F1 broadcaster and former racing driver caught up with the comedian at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, during one of his famous pre-race grid walks.
And in their chat, Brundle revealed that he had been asked to go on The Wheel — even though he was not entirely sure what the show was called.
"Your people invited me onto your show with the circle," Brundle told McIntyre.
"The show with the circle? It's called The Wheel!'
McIntyre responded: 'I think a Formula 1 driver should know what a wheel is... That is not a circle, it's called a wheel."
He then asked Brundle personally on the show, but it was still a no — for now, at least.
"Why don't you come on The Wheel?" McIntyre asked.
However, Brundle said filming in the summer clashed with his busy F1 schedule.
He explained: "Because I can't do it, it's in June.'
However, he added that he will do it one day, adding: 'I've got to do some other things, but one day I will."
Earlier this month, McIntyre saw his £195,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR towed away in Kensington, West London.
MailOnline pictured the comedian, 49, speaking to an official as his car, with its wheels clamped, was hoisted on to the back of a lorry on Derry Street.
With a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine, the AMG GTR can retail for up to £195,000.
The Standard contacted representatives of McIntyre for comment at the time.
The BBC also recently confirmed it has ordered another two series of Michael McIntyre's Big Show, as well as The Wheel.
"I'm so proud of the success of both The Big Show and The Wheel,' he said.
'This will take the Big Show up to its 10th series, which is an amazing achievement for everyone involved.
"The Wheel was a show we made in lockdown while we couldn't film the Big Show, but it's become equally beloved. Someone came up to me recently while I was walking the dog and said they 'loved The Big Wheel', I have no idea whether they meant The Big Show, The Wheel or both shows, they may have just come from The London Eye."

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh changes name amid feud with father
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh changes name amid feud with father Show Caption Hide Caption Shiloh Jolie granted request to drop dad Brad Pitt's last name Shiloh Jolie, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has officially dropped Pitt from her last name. unbranded - Entertainment Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's second-eldest daughter Shiloh Jolie is debuting a new name. The A-listers' famous daughter debuted her name change during a rare appearance in Los Angeles for the launch of French fashion designer Isabel Marant's capsule collection for women with luxury company Net-A-Porter, according to a press release obtained by Page Six, L'Officiel and Variety. At the fête, she received choreography credits for an original dance number. Her new name? Shi Joli. Last year, Jolie, formerly known as Jolie-Pitt, was successful in legally removing Pitt from her last name. The 18-year-old's name change petition was originally granted in August by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, according to a filing reviewed at the time by USA TODAY. Shiloh Jolie granted request to drop dad Brad Pitt's last name "There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted," the order read. "The Decree is signed and filed. The Petitioner's name is changed from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie." Nearly a year ago, Jolie filed the petition to use only her mother's maiden name on May 27, her 18th birthday, according to a court filing obtained by USA TODAY. As legally required in California, Jolie posted weekly public notices of her effort to change her name to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie in a newspaper prior to her scheduled hearing. Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, share six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox. In recent weeks, Pitt spoke out about his divorce from his former "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" costar. On May 28, GQ published a feature story on Pitt's latest film, "F1," and asked him about his December divorce settlement with Jolie following their eight-year battle in court. Pitt had a surprisingly toned-down response to the question about whether the finalized matter brought any "relief." "No, I don't think it was that major of a thing," Pitt told the magazine. "Just something coming to fruition. Legally." Contributing: KiMi Robinson

Tommy Hilfiger Joins Cadillac Formula 1 Team as Official Apparel Partner
Tommy Hilfiger and Cadillac Formula 1 Team have forged a multiyear partnership setting the fashion brand up as the team's official apparel partner. The Hilfiger brand, which is part of PVH Corp., is bringing its spirit of 'fashiontainment' to F1 at a time when the sport's popularity is at an all-time high. Cadillac Formula 1 Team is the first new addition since 2016, and the team intends to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026. Advertisement More from WWD 'Two icons. One vision. A bold new era of American motorsport,' said Tommy Hilfiger. 'We're proud to continue our Formula 1 story alongside TWG Motorsports and Cadillac. We share a vision to honor the heritage of F1 while pushing it forward — celebrating where we come from and reimagining where we can go. As the sport's presence around the globe continues to soar, there's never been a better time to dream big and show the world what an American team can bring to the grid.' In an interview Tuesday, Hilfiger said he's been fascinated by racing his entire life, having grown up near Watkins Glen's F1 racetrack. 'My friends and I would peer over the fences, and I would watch the races. I became obsessed with it. It was such an event, it was like a rock concert,' said Hilfiger. He said bands would be playing and they'd tailgate, 'It was wild.' Over the years, Hilfiger's company has sponsored Team Lotus, Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG, and collaborated with Lewis Hamilton. Hilfiger's Mercedes Benz contract was expiring, and they decided to sponsor the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, an American team. 'I thought it would be great to partner with them,' said Hilfiger. Advertisement In March, the Cadillac F1 Team received final approval to join the pinnacle of motorsport. Formed by TWG Motorsports and General Motors, the team brings together a legacy of engineering excellence and a shared commitment to innovation and performance. 'We are an American team representing one of the most iconic American brands of all time,' said Cadillac Formula 1 Team Principal Graeme Lowdon. 'Tommy Hilfiger, too, is an American icon, and the brand's legacy in Formula 1 is unmatched. As we bring a bold new vision to the paddock, this partnership truly reflects the spirit of what we're building. Together, we're not only racing, but driving innovation that will shape the future of both entertainment and engineering.' Lea Rytz Goldman, global brand president of Tommy Hilfiger, added: 'From the very beginning, entertainment and sport have been a part of our brand's heritage. By doubling down in motorsport, we are excited to present a fresh expression of what's possible when fashion evolves at the speed of pop culture. This iconic partnership continues our legacy of breaking boundaries, bringing style to the grid, and driving the future of Formula 1.' Hilfiger brings over three decades of experience in the sport, having written the playbook on how fashion shows up on the grid. Advertisement The partnership includes team kits featuring the brand's signature design and iconology, with the Tommy Hilfiger logo displayed on the car, driver suits and helmets. A fanwear collection will also launch. 'Tommy Hilfiger is an American original, and we're proud to welcome them as our first official partner,' said Dan Towriss, chief executive officer of Cadillac Formula 1 Team. 'This collaboration represents the fusion of two bold, innovative brands — where performance meets iconic style. As we build a team that reflects American ambition on the global 1 stage, this partnership sets the tone for what's ahead.' Hilfiger said his company will be making team kits for the drivers, crews and management. They will also have a fanwear-collection, which will fuse Hilfiger's 'Prep Made Modern' aesthetic with the performance-driven codes of Cadillac Formula 1. While the initial launch is men's wear, the company is currently sponsoring F1 Academy for women, and they will eventually add Cadillac merchandise for women, he said. Asked if he's ever owned a Cadillac, Hilfiger said he had a Cadillac Escalade for awhile. 'It's the most luxurious American car, and is built very well,' he said. Hilfiger said he's especially excited because the teams he's sponsored in the past were all European, and this is the first American brand he's sponsored for racing. Advertisement He noted that the company has a team that designs the F1 apparel as part of the master design team. Hilfiger loves the affiliation with Formula One racing. 'It's more than a sport, it's a cultural force,' he said, attributing part of the consumer interest to Netflix's 'Drive to Survive' series, which he said lifted interest and put it onto another level. 'The young drivers are like rock stars. They're very cool and they're in great shape,' he said. They come out before the race in cool fashion and then change to their uniforms. He attributed a lot of the hype to Hamilton and George Russell, who wore Tommy Hilfiger when they raced for Mercedes. 'They were the leaders of it,' he said. Hilfiger added that the races in Miami, Austin and Las Vegas 'are completely sold-out.' Advertisement The Cadillac Formula 1 Team hasn't revealed its drivers yet, which will happen in August. 'They're going after some real stars,' Hilfiger said. In addition, the Cadillac racing car will be unveiled over the next couple of months. Each of the 11 teams has two cars. 'You'll see a lot of red, blue and white flags being very present at the races,' added Hilfiger. Last month at Formula One in Miami, TWG Motorsports x Cadillac F1 celebrated the official global launch of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team held inside a reimagined 1940s-style theater in the heart of South Beach. The venue, Queen, was transformed into Cadillac Club, where guests included Victoria Monet, Mickalene Thomas, Terry Crews, June Smollett, Sophia Bush, and Camila Coelho. Janelle Monáe performed, followed by an electric DJ set from the Grammy-nominated artist. Hilfiger is launching the APXGP Collection ahead of the premiere of 'F1 the Movie' in North America on June 27, and internationally beginning June 25. That collection features moto-emblazoned mechanic shirts, a varsity-meets-moto jacket in vegan leather, tailored Japanese denim jeans and a merino knit polo. A red quilted jacket modeled after the exact silhouette worn by Damson Idris' character in the film is prominent in the lineup. Retail prices range from $50 to $790. The Hilfiger brand logo is prominently displayed on the APXGP car, driver's kit and team uniforms. Advertisement Several capsule collections for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team will come out in spring 2026, around the time of the first race, said Hilfiger. Best of WWD Sign up for WWD's Newsletter.
