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

But an incident t♏wo ye꧑ars, involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion at the United States Grand Prix, prompted an official F1 rule change.

Brundle was held back from interviewing Megan Thee Stallion by her se🐻curity team.

So what rule was introduced?

Bodyguards fꦏor celebrities on the F1 starting g⭕rid are now banned.

“Off🐎icials believe the grid is a secure enough environment to mean they are not required,” 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 introduced, that any celebrities on the grid 🗹must not have bodyguards any longer.

"It must be the 'Bꦍrundle clause', and t💟hey're obliged to talk 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 ju💯st using the grid a little bit if I'm honest. They don't really have a passion.

"I know there are millions of fans at home going 'I 🍌s♛hould be on that grid. I'm a massive Formula 1 fan, not them'.

The Cara Delevingne controversy

At Silverstone, model and actr🔯ess Cara Delevingne did not want to be interviewed by Brundle.

She later insi🤡sted that an Alfa Romeo staff member, not her agent, toღld Brundle that she didn’t want to speak on camera.

“But everybody h𒆙as to talk on the grid,” Brundle said to her. “That's the deal now, everybody talks on the grid."

As he gave up, he said: “I'𒐪m sure that would have been 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 wh🎉o will treasure the experience…”

Delevingne later tweeted “I was told to say n🥂o 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 Delevingne to the grand prix as their guest, later tweeted: “Res𒊎pect goes both ways: nobody should be placed in an uncomfortable situation or forced to do things against their will.”
