Martin Brundle did not have much time for Michael McIntyre’s hopeful request at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.

The Sky Sports host, 65, spoke to the comic, 49, as he interviewed the big names at the event, beginning the conversation by saying he had been invited onto Michael’s ‘show with the circle’. 

Brundle said: ‘Your people invited me onto your show with the circle.’

Spotting an opportunity for a joke, the comic replied: ‘The show with the circle? It’s called The Wheel! 

‘I think a Formula 1 driver should know what a wheel is. That is not a circle, it’s called a wheel.’

After establishing the upper hand in the conversation with his quick wit, Michael took the opportunity to repeat the invite to his popular quiz show.

The comedian asked: ‘Why don’t you come on The Wheel?’ 

Martin then explained that he was unable to appear on the show because of his other commitments in June, but he plans to take up the invite one day. 

He said: ‘Because I can’t do it, it’s in June. 

‘I’ve got to do some other things, but one day I will.’ 

For those unfamiliar with the show, The Wheel is a quiz show which features a contestant who answers questions with the help of celebrity experts.

Hosted by Michael, contestants have a chance to win cash prizes of up to £116,000.  

Needless to say, Martin, as a former Formula 1 driver, would likely be a help for any motoring questions. 

Michael’s appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix comes after troubles in his own motoring life after his luxury sports car was towed in Kensington High Street earlier this month.

He was photographed speaking to an official on May 14 as his high-end £195,000 sports car was hoisted onto the back of a lorry with its wheels clamped. 

The comedian looked unimpressed as he had an animated discussion with an official, who wore a yellow hi-vis jacket as builders watched on.

The funnyman looked dapper in a navy suit and pink shirt while he sported his signature square glasses for his unfortunate outing into the city.

Michael’s vehicle, a Mercedes-AMG GT R, had been hoisted onto the back of a tow truck as it was moved from the street.

The TV star’s vehicle was towed after it was parked in a parking bay reserved for police vehicles.

MailOnline has contacted Michael’s representatives for comment.
