Martin Brundle apologises to Oscar Piastri after awkward Singapore GP gridwalk incident

Martin Brundle has apologised to McLaren star Oscar Piastri after an awkward gridwalk moment before the Singapore Grand Prix. The Formula One reporter blanked Piastri while wishing Esteban Ocon a happy birthday. Sky Sports journalist Brundle is famous for his pre-race gridwalks in which he bumps into stars of both F1 and the wider celebrity community. The segments have become famed for some particularly toe-curling moments. And perhaps the most extreme example happened in Singapore on Sunday. Brundle, a nine-time podium finisher during his own F1 career, approached Piastri for a chat. The Australian was asked about his plans for the race and replied: ‘Yeah, we’ll try our best, see if we can get…’ But that was as far as Piastri got into his response before Brundle turned away. The interviewer instead began wishing a happy birthday to Alpine ace Ocon. Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news
