F1 News: Red Bull Under Fire For Martin Brundle Grid Walk Drama - "Disgusting!"

Martin Brundle had to apologise for the language used.

Monaco Grand Prix was a brilliant chaotic race with drama throughout the on-track action. But the chaos wasn't limited to the track as an on-air incident saw a Red Bull employee unexpectedly let slip an expletive during Martin Brundle's famous grid walk. 

The legendary Sky Sports F1 broadcaster, known for his grid walks where he interviews celebrities and F1 icons alike, found himself caught up in this awkward moment while interacting with high-profile personalities in Monaco, including Orlando Bloom, Beverley Knight, and Kylie Minogue.

During his time on the crowded grid, Brundle was attempting a push through the swarm of people to talk with Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. Amid the chaos, a Red Bull team member seemed somewhat perturbed by the unfolding situation. As Brundle navigated his way towards Horner, the employee was heard exclaiming: "I’m gonna get in so much f**king s**t dude."

Upon hearing the language being used, the always professional Brundle moved the mic away from the culprit. Without missing a beat, the pundit swiftly issued an apology for the unexpected outburst before resuming his conversation with Horner.

The incident swiftly caught the attention of F1 fans on Twitter, triggering a flurry of reactions.

Another added: "Who’s this d**k with the attitude? Absolutely appalling and aggressive behaviour towards Martin Brundle and the @SkySportsF1 team!"

A third Twitter user continued: "Looooool Brundle wanted to clock that Red Bull bloke for dropping a 'f**king sh**e mate' when trying to shift him along." 

The onslaught against the Red Bull employee continued: "Disgusting language to Martin Brundle by that Red Bull mechanic on the grid walk!" 

Another published: "Looking forward to watching the Monaco GP but poor Martin Brundle is having a bit of a nightmare walking the grid today!! Wonder if the potty-mouthed Red Bull worker will be as much in the “******* ****” as he predicted after that language."

Brundle was able to continue the iconic grid walk, unphased by the strange interaction with the employee, but it's likely this won't be the end of the story here.
