Sky F1 broadcaster Brundle has turned his strolls up and down the starting gri𝓀d, which include informative discussions with F1 personnel as well as entertaining segments with A-list guests, into a much-loved tradition.

But an incident two years, involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion at the United States Grand P💖rix, prompted an official F1 rule change.

Brundle was held🀅 back from interviewing Megan Thee Stallion by her security team.

So what rule was introduced?

Bodyguards for celebrities on the F1 🐎starting grid are now banned.

“Officials believe the grid is a secure enough environment to mean they are not ꦕrequired,” reported in 2021.

at the time: "Celebrities aren’t obliged to do interviews whilst on the grid, but security entourages are now no longer allowed to accompany them on there."

Brundle was quoted by at the time: "There have been ♎new rules intro🍌duced, that any celebrities on the grid must not have bodyguards any longer.

"It must be the 'Br🐓undle clause', and they're obliged to ta🎉lk to me. I sort of like it if they ignore me, to be honest.

"I like to call out some of the celebs that I think are just using the gri🎀d a little bit if I'm honest. They don't really have a passion.

"I know there are millions of fans at home g⭕oing 'I should be on that grid. I'm a massive Formula 1 fan, not them'.

The Cara Delevingne controversy

At Silversto𒁏ne, model and actress Cara Delevingne did not want to be interviewed by Brund▨le.

She later insisted that an Alfa Romeo staff member, not🧸 her agent, told Brundle that she didn’t want to speak on camer✱a.

“But everybody has to talk on the grid,” Brundle said to her. “That's the deal now, everybody ta♛lks𒀰 on the grid."

As he gave ♎up, he said: “I'm sure that would have b🅰een extremely interesting."

Karun Chandhok, Brundle’s🍨 colleague, tweeted: “Honestly think we should have a “chart of rudeness” in🙈 F1! Next time, take the grid passes from people who don’t care and give it to some deserving kids who will treasure the experience…”

Delevingne later tweeted “I was told to say ♏no so I did” while replying to a tweet which said: “Martin Brundle is just doing it to manufacture the moment for the controversy of it all.”

Alfa Romeo, who had invited Delevi🎀ngne to the grand prix as their gu🔯est, later tweeted: “Respect goes both ways: nobody should be placed in an uncomfortable situation or forced to do things against their will.”
