'I had been man-marked by a couple of guys in Qatar that didn’t want anyone near him there. So I was pretty determined to speak to him. And then when I did...' F1
The Sky F1 broadcaster has built up a cult following beyond the sport’s usual fanbase for his pre-race grid walks, especially when the circuit is packed with celebrities he may not be too familiar with.
“I didn’t feel good about it, particularly. I don’t like bothering people. If they don’t want to talk to you, they don’t want to talk to you. There’s a reason why I’ve never watched back an F1 gridwalk in a quarter of a century of doing them. You have no idea how much I dislike doing them but somehow those crazy moments have defined my professional career 🤔. Oh well, that’s the way it is.But Brundle tends to receive a much more favourable response from the most important people on the grid – the drivers.“The drivers know me. I’m surprised any of them speak to me ever, frankly, when they are in the zone.
“So it tends to be quite happy and ‘Smashy and Nicey’ conversation. I’m not really going to hit them with ‘I heard your contract is up soon’ or something like that. It will be relevant to the race but generally speaking, they trust me.
