Martin Brundle's Formula One gridwalks are unique in their own right as the former driver talks to some of the world's most popular VIPs. But the Sky Sports F1 icon considers his live interviews to be "car crash television" and fears they could spell the end of his TV career. The broadcaster, 65, can often be seen marching up and down the grid minutes before the race, making a hurried attempt to chat to the glamorous stars and celebrities attending the race. Brundle never looks entirely comfortable as he engages in conversation with celebrities from all walks of life - and that's part of its charm.

One viral encounter with Ozzy Osbourne led to the Black Sabbath rockstar rambling incoherently in his direction, while Brundle's lack of familiarity with rapper Machine Gun Kelly and his music career led to a toe-curling exchange. Some VIPs have even refused to engage with Brundle altogether, with infamous incidents involving model Cara Delevingne at the British Grand Prix in 2023 and a brutal snub from rapper Megan Thee Stallion and her bodyguard. Brundle's haphazard nature of those interviews leave him fearing that he could be axed by his employers or 'cancelled' by society.

"I'm one sentence away from the end of my career at all times, or being cancelled," he told The Sun at F1 75 Live at London's O2 Arena in February. "I'm terrified of the whole thing, because it's live and it's just pure car crash television."
