F1 legend Martin Brundle says he is left “terrifie🌊d” by feeling like he is “one sentence away”ꦛ from his career potentially being ended.

Following his retirement from racing, Brundle has turned to broadcasting and has been helping calling the shots on F1 for decades as a co-💙commentator and pundit.

In the role Brundle also carries out his now-famous F1 grid walks where he hunts down VIPs and celebrities to interview moments before the💖 start of each grand prix.

The 65-year-old Briton has had plenty of amusing and chaotic moments over the years due to the unscripted nature of his interviews, including excruciatingly-awkward meetings with the likes of M༺achine Gun Kelly andꦑ Megan Thee Stallion.

Brundle has admitted he worries about losing his job or being ‘cancelled’ during w𝓡hat he described as being “pure car crash television”.

"I'm one sentence away from the end of my career at all times, or being cancel𒁃led,” B🦩rundle told at F1’s season launch event at London’s O2 Arena.

"I'm terrified of the whole thing, because it𓄧's live and it's just pure ca💮r crash television.

"Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Theꦰe Stallion, I don't know, getting knocked about by security guards. They're the ones that people like.

"And the𒀰n I meet some really lovely, fascinating, world-class people, politicians and royalty and movie stars, and I'm very privileged with the people I meet on the grid.”

Brundle conceded he accept𝓰s some celebrities know nothing about the sport, but persists to speak to them regardless.

"I understand that," Brundle said. "Because we watch Formula 1 year in, year out, racing ourselves, and they're on the grid and they actually don't know anything about it, and quite clearly don't really want to be ✃there.

“They're just selling a movie or something. I g💟et that, but for Formula 1, they are A-listers.”

Explaining his💯 preparation, Brundle added: "I get a list through on it, race morning, with 70 people on it. Half of them don't turn up, but you get through and you're like, 'I've not heard of many of those'. Oh, 65 million followers onꦦ Instagram. Oh, 140 million followers on Instagram.

"How did I not hear of these people? Clearly somebody has. I think it's all part of the incoming tide, all the boats float higher. That's 🍸part of why something like this works today, and it hasn't happened in the past."
