Guy Ritchie predicts McLaren win ahead of the Bahrain GP race despite the Woking-based team starting from P13 and P18.
McLaren is not having a good time on the grid this year so far. However, a few prominent personalities have no idea what’s going on with the Woking-based team.
One of them is definitely Matt Ritchie. The famous film director is present at the Bahrain International circuit. He was then interviewed by F1 commentator Martin Brundle.
Brundle asked him on whom he would put his money for this race. Ritchie replied: “McLaren”. Though, his presumed favourite side is not having a good week in Bahrain.
The McLaren duo started from P13 (Lando Norris) and P18 (Daniel Ricciardo). They further got relegated to P16 and P18 during the publishing of this article.
So, it doesn’t seem Ritchie had an idea about it, and he probably kept his word on the wrong side.

F1 Twitter reacts to comments by Guy Ritchie
The comments by Ritchie made an instant point of talking on social media. F1 fans funnily reacted to his comments and claimed that the film director doesn’t know a thing about F1.
Not the first time had an unusual moment with Martin Brundle
Back in 2019, Brundle had another awkward Ritchie moment. But this time it was the former at fault. after interviewing David Beckham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he approached a random guy with a beard thinking that he was Ritchie.
While the British filmmaker wandered behind in the background. It was not one of the best moments by Brundle, and he even tweeted in fun about it.
