Brundle’s infamous MGK encounter
If you’re not a fan of his music, Machine Gun Kelly featured on Martin Brundle’s Sky F1 grid w🐷alไk at the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
The encounter b🅰etwee🏅n Brundle and MGK was described as “awkward” and “bizarre” as it trended on social media.
After an initial exchange, MGK requ☂ested Brundl🌃e to do an air guitar.
Brundle refused, despite MGK’s insistence, even giving the F1 commentator 🍸a countdown from three.
As Brundle cont🍌inued to decline, the interview ended with MGK giving a thumbs dඣown to the camera before storming off down the grid.
Brundl🔯e quipped: “Something tells me I won’t be on his Christmas card lis🐬t.”
Later in the year, Brundle reflected on his grid waꦏlks from throughout 2023 in a Q&A on Sky’s website.
He said of the MGK interview: “And then I’ve had some car crash moments with Machine Gun Kelly and Shaquille O’Neal, whose answer was short and sweet, but nobody’s 🐭ever called him short and sweet before, I don’t think.
“I’ve mainta🎉🌠ined my position of never watching one, so I have no idea. I’ll leave that for other people to decide, but it’s nice to meet nice people.
“But actually I love talking to the driv🎀ers as well, because that’s a unique sports broadcasting opportunity. So in the end, it🐼 will be quick interactions with drivers that I enjoy most.”
