Arsenal hero Bukayo Saka wasn\u2019t in the mood to talk at the Spanish Grand Prix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The superstar winger was on the grid pre-race alongside the rest of the England squad who later travel south to Andorra on June 6 for a World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n

Without gridwalk legend Martin Brundle in Catalunya, it was left to Sky presenter Simon Lazenby and 2016 Formula 1<\/a> world champion Nico Rosberg to get some content.<\/p>\n

And when they found the entire England squad at the start finish line they thought they\u2019d struck gold.<\/p>\n

First was a chat with captain and recent Bundesliga winner Harry Kane<\/a> before Lazenby spotted Saka.<\/p>\n

Yet the Gunners talisman didn\u2019t want to chat, just replying: \u201cI don\u2019t like to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lazenby then asked who he was supporting, and Saka again answered: \u201cI don\u2019t like to say,\u201d while shaking his head.<\/p>\n

Rosberg summed up the mood, commenting: \u201cHe\u2019s not very friendly,\u201d before switching over to Newcastle hero Dan Burn<\/a> who was far more accommodating.<\/p>\n

The lofty defender disagreed with Lazenby who asked if the upcoming match against minnows Andorra will be a ‘formality’.<\/p>\n

Kane was first to talk, though, saying: “I’m good, I’m hot, but looking forward to the race, it’s my first one.<\/p>\n

“I watch it as much as I can and with a few of the English guys doing well I’m looking forward to seeing it.”<\/p>\n

Rosberg then got involved telling the striker: “Harry, I’m a huge Bayern Munich fan, that’s my team, so thanks for all your efforts, but who are you rooting for today?<\/p>\n

Kane responded: “That’s perfect! I love Lando [Norris] he’s been doing great and has got a great chance to win the championship so I’m hoping he can get himself in front today.”<\/p>\n

Rosberg then asked if the former Tottenham man had any words for advice for Norris who’s been a ‘little bit mentally shaky’.<\/p>\n

“For him it’s all about preparation,” Kane said. “I’m sure he’s prepared to the best of his ability.<\/p>\n

“Then it’s just going out there and being free, he knows he can do it, he’s won enough already.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal hero Bukayo Saka wasn\u2019t in the mood to talk at the Spanish Grand Prix.
