I love Martin Brundle’s grid walk. This one is legendary. He’s adorable.

Possibly the worst grid walk of the year 😕

Martin walked up and down the grid, basically spoke to nobody. Shaq said "Lewis Hamilton Baby" after Brundle waited nearly a minute to interview him. It looked like he was dying out there.

@Photographer It always looks like he’s dying out there! That’s the best part!

He missed 80% of the celebrity guests because he only knows athletes and British people lol they really need someone in his ear telling him “go talk to terry crews” when people like that are there, or brief him before the walk on “here’s the famous people, try to talk if you see them”

@JJROKCZ

100% of the fun of it is seeing who he recognizes and who he doesn't! Do you REALLY give a shit what Terry Crews thinks about F1? Or would you rather see the hilarity of the clueless legend?

It is fun to see who he gets and doesn’t but this one was entirely misses and non-comments from nobodies.

@JJROKCZ You’re no fun anymore.

He is briefed before he does the walk, there is a sort of call card with celebs on that the journalists get before they go onto the grid. He also had someone telling him "there's Tiesto", but it still ended up messy lol.

The "famous people" debrief for las vegas was a 72 pages long document... I will let some slip, but terry crews is unforgivable
