Brundle is in Budapest this weekend as part of Sky Sports’ coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix, two weeks on from the moment actress Delevingne infamously snubbed him on his grid walk
So often these days, the biggest talking point to come from a major sporting event is not the action itself, but one viral moment which proves divisive among fans.
That happened again this month at the British Grand Prix. Max Verstappen won the race while Brits Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton gave us a thrilling battle for second place â but still the big story was about what had happened on the grid a few minutes before the start of the Silverstone race.
It was jam-packed with celebrities â setting up a bumper edition of Martin Brundle’s usual pre-race grid walk. That particular segment of the Sky Sports coverage has become one of the most popular among viewers in recent years.
Some of that is because Brundle is an excellent and informative broadcaster who knows more about the inner workings of the Formula 1 circus than most people alive. But then, as with all live television, there is also the potential for things to go very wrong.
