Martin Brundle is a regular face when it comes to grid walk ahead of the Grand Prix race. The renowned F1 commentator takes his boom mic and a camera, with which he speaks to guests, drivers and team officials. However, there is one driver Brundle finds hard to speak to ahead of the race — Lewis Hamilton.
Brundle, a renowned face and a former F1 driver, started his grid walk back in the 1997 British Grand Prix. From then on, the grid walk has become a customary tradition before the lights go out. Even though the tradition remained the same, things have changed drastically in nearly three decades.
Speaking about his grid walk prior to the race, Brundle said how easy it was to approach drivers and speak to them. He recalled how he once got Michael Schumacher and Gerhard Berger speaking to him at the same time before the race.
