F1 legend Martin Br﷽undle says he is left “terrified” by feeling like he is “one sentence away” 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 ce🙈lebrities 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 unscri꧒pted nature of his interviews, including excruciatingly-awkward meetings with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Thee Stallion.

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

"I'm one sentence away from the end of my career at all times, or b🍌eing cancelled,” Brundle told at F1’s season launch event at London’s O2 Arena.

"I'm te🐬rrified of the whole thing, because it's live and it's just pure car crash television.

"Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Thee Stallion, I don't know, getting kno🧸cked about by security guards. They're the ones tha꧒t people like.

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

Brundle conceded he a🌼ccepts some celebrities know nothing about the sport, but persists to sp𒆙eak 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 anythin🍌g about it, and quite clearly don't really want to be there.

“They're just selling a movie or something. I get🍸 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 ꦡthose'. Oh, 65 million followers on Instagram. Oh,𒁃 140 million followers on Instagram.

"H🐻ow 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 some🎉thing like this works today, and it hasn't happened in the past."
