Brundle: 'I didn't ask for protocol changes on the grid'

Suddenly, attention has grown on Martin Brundle. The Brit got into an altercation with Megan Thee Stallion's bodyguard on the grid in Austin. It led to Formula 1 changing the rules on the grid prior to a race.

In one of the first times since the coronavirus pandemic, Brundle walked the grid in America to interview various people. In Austin, he stumbled upon Megan Thee Stallion, who didn't seem to have a problem chatting herself. Her supervisor however did and pushed Brundle aside. As a result, celebrities are no longer allowed to take security on the grid.

Commenting on this post, Brundle tweeted, "For the avoidance of doubt I don’t care who visits the F1 grid, the more the merrier. Talk to me, ignore me, shove, wave, hug, call me names, whatever makes you happy. All I ask is that you soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the privilege. I’ve not asked for any grid protocol changes."


Nevertheless: Brundle doesn't have to fear any more big, strong guys pushing him aside.
