Brundle\u2019s grid walks have become iconic for some toe-curling encounters with celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>In a staple of Sky Sports\u2019 pre-race coverage, the pundit takes viewers around the grid walk and attempts to have chats with drivers and their celebrity guests. Some give Brundle plenty of their time, talking at length about their passion for the sport.<\/p>\n<p>But many other celebrities refuse to engage. In Brazil, musician Machine Gun Kelly attempted to dodge Brundle\u2019s questions and attempted to get the former driver to play an air guitar. Basketball legend O\u2019Neal was in no mood to speak with Brundle in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his most memorable grid walk moments, the 64-year-old revealed that he refuses to watch any of them back. He described his encounters with Machine Gun Kelly and O\u2019Neal as a \u2018car crash\u2019, and says his favourite interviews are with the drivers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Martin-Brundle-Machine-Gun-Kelly-F1-5122283.jpg?r=1702977062205\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my goodness, what a year it\u2019s been grid walking. I loved talking to Florence Pugh, for example, on the grid in Silverstone and Maria Sharapova in Abu Dhabi, just meeting nice people who are enjoying our sport,\u201d Brundle said in a Sky Sports Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I\u2019ve had some car crash moments with Machine Gun Kelly and Shaquille O\u2019Neal, whose answer was short and sweet, but nobody\u2019s ever called him short and sweet before, I don\u2019t think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve maintained my position of never watching one, so I have no idea. I\u2019ll leave that for other people to decide, but it\u2019s nice to meet nice people.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen hints at new role as Mercedes leave Red Bull &#8216;surprised'[UPDATES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen hatches plan to outdo Lewis Hamilton as Leclerc left baffled[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen seen shopping for &#8216;luxury&#8217; buy as star looks to reward himself[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Martin-Brundle-Formula-One-5122291.jpg?r=1702977062366\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut actually I love talking to the drivers as well, because that\u2019s a unique sports broadcasting opportunity.

Hamilton has rarely encountered Brundle before races, but the journalist has made it his mission to have another chat with the seven-time world champion.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he thinks he will interview Hamilton on the grid walk, Brundle said: \u201cYeah, I do, and I will.
