News about Martin Brundle

Legendary Formula One interviewer Martin Brundle is facing a marriage crisis, with him and his wife spending time away from each other, according to reports.

F1 commentator Martin Brundle has weighed in on the war of words between Daniel Ricciardo (pictured left) and Jacques Villeneuve (right), saying the Aussie 'never seemed the same driver again' after leaving Red Bull. Throughout his career, Ricciardo has achieved eight Grand Prix victories and 32 podium finishes, marking him as one of the sport's better competitors. But those results have become hard to come by in recent years, with podium finishes drying up during stints at Renault from 2019-2020 and a troubled partnership with McLaren from 2021-2022.

Sky Sports pundit Brundle - renowned for ambushing celebrity guests at Formula One races - persisted in questioning the Real Madrid-bound striker at today's event. And not even attempts to fend him off by a security official could stop former F1 driver Brundle, who insisted on camera: 'It's all right, mate - I'm in charge here.' Brundle did manage to get some words from Mbappe, having previously been given the silent treatment by some celebrities evidently unhappy about his attentions. Among those frustrated by being 'Brundled' in his famous 'Grid Walks' have been British model Cara Delevingne and US rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

Sky Sports interviewer Martin Brundle (left) clashed with a member of Kylian Mbappe's (right) security detail when trying to grab a word with the French footballer at the Monaco Grand Prix. Being interviewed by the former F1 driver is very much a rite of passage for celebrities in attendance at races, with Brundle keen to get a word with Mbappe before the Monaco GP got underway.

Martin Brundle has done it again.  The Sky Sports F1 pundit, who's made several on-air blunders during his infamous pre-race grid walks, admitted he didn't know who Joe Jonas was before approaching the singer for an interview on Sunday. 'We've got one of the Jonas brothers here,' Brundle said on the live broadcast, while walking up the Monaco Grand Prix starting grid. 

Martin Brundle has wrongly identified Patrick Mahomes once again, as the F1 commentator believed the Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips to be the Chiefs quarterback. Two years ago, Brundle hilariously called out to Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero as 'Patrick' before realizing he had misidentified the basketball player. And a similar thing happened before Sunday's Miami Grand Prix, as Brundle was fooled during his famous grid walk.

POLE POSITION - JONATHAN MCEVOY: Otherwise detained in London, a rare weekend free from attending a grand prix live allowed me the unusual pleasure of watching Sky's coverage as the action unfolded in China. I usually rerun the televised action on my return, but I never have it in my ear or watch the feed when I am at a race. This has a disadvantage, namely that you miss out on access to bundles of information Sky garner from their team out in the field. It has the advantage - if you can call it such - that at least I can make up my own mind about what is going on, uncluttered by the views of TV group think, and report it as I see it, which I have always thought is the point of being there. Anyway, tuning in on Sunday morning, the star of the show to my mind was Nico Rosberg. He was in the commentary box with my old pal David Croft, the lead commentator, and the very slight tension between the two made for a successful calling of the race.

Formula One will hand out points to the top 12 finishers in races from next season if a controversial revamp is approved on Thursday. It would extend the old way of rewarding the top 10 drivers, itself an evolution from a previous scoring system that acknowledged the top six.  It is understood that the leading teams are considering whether to support the move, which is up before the F1 Commission in Geneva, though most of will 'attend' remotely.

Since his cameo on Martin Brundle's grid walk ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix went viral, Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he had a lot to drink. The latest F1 season got underway in the Middle East over the weekend, with the Grand Tour and former Top Gear host being among celebrities such as Neymar and Patrice Evra at the beginning of the series. Brundle polled many well-known celebrities on the grid before the race started on Saturday, including Clarkson, who was asked for his thoughts on the forthcoming season.

Max Verstappen, the reigning Formula One champion, began his quest for his fourth title in a dominant style with an unchallenged cruise to a Red Bull one-two victory in Saturday's Bahrain Grand Prix. The 26-year-old Dutchman had a fruitful day leading from pole position and receiving a bonus point for his fastest lap on his way to finishing in 22.4 seconds over Mexican teammate Sergio Perez. Carlos Sainz, who will be replacing seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari next year, claimed third place, ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc.

Fans on social media were able to engage in Jeremy Clarkson's gridlock discussion with Martin Brundle in Bahrain on Saturday, where he questioned teams's development during the off-season. The new F1 season began with the Bahrain Grand Prix, and the Grand Tour and former Top Gear presenter were among celebrity participants, including Neymar and Patrice Evra in the 2024 season's opening race. Brundle consulted with several high-profile figures on the circuit before the election, including Clarkson, who was asked for his thoughts about the forthcoming season.

Martin Brundle has spoken out about the continuing saga surrounding Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and the current situation in the run-up to the Bahrain Grand Prix. Brundle, one of the most popular figures on the internet and now leads Sky Sports' pit-walk interviews, has spoken out against the ongoing situation that has plunged one of the sport's powerhouse teams into disarray.

During the inquiry into Christian Horner, Martin Brundle has said there are signs of'disruption' at Red Bull. Horner, the Red Bull team's chief, is now being prosecuted after being accused of 'inappropriate conduct' by a female coworker, according to a decision that is set to be released on Wednesday. Horner's allegations have overshadowed the run-up to the 2024 F1 season and been one of the most notable news in sport, with the 50-year-old subject of an investigation from his side.

Lewis Hamilton sent shockwaves around Formula One on Thursday, and, ironically, leading figures in the sport have spoken out against his Ferrari switch. Hamilton, 39, will leave Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025, snapping his brief stint with the Brackley team in 2025 for one last dance with the Scuderia, according to Mail Sport.

Although you may think that being a resident broadcaster with a camera crew in tow would guarantee Brundle unfettered admission to visitors, not everyone seems to get the memo. Brundle's ten of the most popular and infamous grid walks in recent years, from the awkward to the downright ridiculous, have been featured in this series.

Brundle was briefly blocked twice on social media before he began to host his legendary pre-race interviews. However, they briefly hoped that nothing would take place before the 2023 F1 championship, which was won by drivers' championship champion Max Verstappen. Brundle can be seen in the video instructing the security guard to allow him to pass as he makes his first move down the grid.

Lewis Hamilton, the man in the garish red jacket who was announcing the names of the drivers to the crowd as they walked on to the pre-race parade had reserved a special welcome for him. As the seven-time world champion climbed into the vintage car that would carry him around the street circuit, he got into full Michael Buffer mode. 'You love America,' the announcer yelled, 'And America loves you.' On both counts, it seemed as though he was correct. When Martin Brundle approached Shaquille O'Neal on the radio to ask how he was enjoying the evening, he kept his answer short and to the point. 'Lewis Hamilton, baby,' he said.

Max Verstappen, the current Formula One world champion, has come under fire from Martin Brundle for his persistent criticisms of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Verstappen has expressed his displeasure in the run-up to the competition by blaming the occasion for putting more emphasis on the spectacles and concerts surrounding the Grand Prix rather than the actual race itself. The inaugural US city's historic marathon has been held on Sunday, and Sin City's historic strip has been turned into a $500 million track.

More than £1.3 billion has been invested into the Las Vegas GP, bringing the sport back to Sin City for the first time since the Caesars Palace Grand Prix was held there in 1981 and 1982. However, the VIP tour has already been dogged by a slew of issues, with followers, Las Vegas residents, and even drivers complaining of high costs, TikTok's Casinocompwallet posted a video of their poor view of the street circuit from the VIP area, which they said cost $6000 to enter. 'This is the racetrack for the f1 from the VIP suite, you're behind the Heineken House in Las Vegas, the race is less than a minute, so let's take a look at the track view from up here.' The'spectacular' was really impressive.'

A Grand Prix on the Las Vegas Strip has been in existence for 40 years, but Formula One's biggest bet is about to become a reality this weekend. The world's best celebrities are due to descend on Nevada's legendary strip for what is billed as the most spectacular show the sport has ever seen. Last night, the event, which might have resulted in $1-1.3 billion, was put into chaos after the first practice run was called off after eight minutes due to a loose drain cover on the track.

JONATHAN MCEVOY IN LAS VEGAS: Formula One's journey into America began early, with a virtual wipe-out of the first practice session due to drain covers causing a lot of chaos. There is no guarantee that any more action will be held tonight. The much-anticipated start to the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, the most hyped event the sport has seen, came to an end with only eight minutes of running. Carlos Sainz's Ferrari was kicked out after reportedly striking a drain.

Following his 'awkward chat' with Sky Sports' Martin Brundle at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Machine Gun Kelly has retaliated. Before Sunday's run, the American rapper, 33, also known as Colson Baker, was held for a gridwalk interview. The unlikely pairing engaged in a two-minute chat full of awkward pauses, resulting in MGK's eviction from an ostensive Brundle, 64.

Martin Brundle, 64, has had his fair share of uncomfortable interview moments since joining Sky Sport in 2012, with viewers expressing their desire to 'curl up and die' during certain exchanges. The racing driver-turned-broadcaster's grid-walks are one of the best-loved parts of F1's race days, as the host scales up and down the starting grid in an effort to snag a few moments with the stars in attendance. Brundle has become known for grueling the gears of some celebrities, the most notable being 33-year-old rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who stormed away from the host during the'most awkward interview ever.'

After yelling away from Sky Sports' Martin Brundle during an eerie interview at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Machine Gun Kelly left fans trembling. The American rapper, 33, also known as Colson Baker, was arrested by the racing driver-turned-broadcaster for a gridwalk interview. The unlikely pair engaged in a two-minute chat suffused with awkward pauses, resulting in MGK's erupting from an unhappy Brundle, 64.
