Brundle’s grid walk interviews have become an essential part of F1 coverage, having worked as a reporter for the BBC and ITV before taking up his current role with Sky Sports.
But Delevigne appeared to be unaware of Brundle’s gridwalk authority and brutally snubbed the former F1 driver as he attempted to grab an interview.
He began by talking to a member of Delevigne’s entourage and said: “She doesn’t want to talk but everybody needs to talk on the grid.
“That’s the deal now, everybody talks on the grid.”
He then approached Delevigne and said: “Can we have a quick chat, [for] Sky F1? Good to see you on the grid.”
To which Delevigne replied: “No.” and looked awkwardly at her entourage.
Delevigne refused again and Brundle reiterated: “The deal is everybody has to speak on the grid.”
She then said: “I can’t hear anything, I’m so sorry.”

Brundle sarcastically said as he walked away: “I’m sure it would have been extremely interesting.”
Sky Sports F1 tweeted: “It wouldn’t be a Martin Brundle gridwalk without a little awkwardness 😅”
And fans were quick to leap to the defence of Brundle.
One said: “Terrible form. This is Martin Brundle’s gridwalk. Has been for eternity.
“It’s kind of like being invited to a party at someone’s house and when the host wants to meet you telling them to p*** off.”
Another added: “@Caradelevingne you simply don’t refuse a Brundle grid walk interview?”
A third simply added: “rudeness”
And a fourth put: “Who even is she?”
It’s not Brundle’s first awakward reaction with a celebrity on the grid after he was shut down by Megan Thee Stallion’s entourage at the Miami Grand Prix in 2021.
Many have called for an end to celebrities on gridwalks to ensure that Brundle’s interviews can be all about the F1.
