F1 Fans Call For Celebrity to be Banned From Grid After Awkward Martin Brundle Moment

F1 fans are in uproar over Sky Sports' Martin Brundle's awkward grid walk encounter with Cara Delevingne.

F1 fans have been calling for British model and actress Cara Delevingne to be banned from the grid walk after her awkward interaction with Sky Sports F1 icon Martin Brundle. 

Brundle was presenting his grid walk ahead of the British Grand Prix where he often will speak to the various celebrities and famous faces on the grid. However, it became very uncomfortable when he approached Delevingne for a chat, who first of all refused and then just said she could not hear him. 

Sky Sports F1 shared the moment to social media, writing:

"It wouldn't be a Martin Brundle grid walk without a little awkwardness"

"This man deserves more respect by celebrities. Why show up to F1 if you don't want to be spoken to?"

"Get these celebrities off the grid if they aren’t going to talk to the voice of F1. Half of them don’t even know which drivers race for the team which invited them"

"Another celeb loitering around because they just can. If you're genuinely interested in the sport and aren't there just for the sake of it, you speak on the grid. Especially if it's Martin."

"It baffles me why all these so called celebrities get invited to the grid and act like this. Real fans would love to be in that position."

"Shows she knows nothing about F1, if she did then she’d know to talk to Martin. Someone more deserving and interested should be there in her place, she’s just there to be seen."

Someone more deserving and interested should be there in her place, she’s just there to be seen.
