Martin Brundle had another iconic grid-walk moment as he snubbed an interview with a Playboy icon at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Sky Sports presenter and ex-F1 driver Brundle is known across the internet for his sporadic and haphazard grid-walks. Celebrities sprawl the grid before a Formula 1 race to get their opportunity to be close to the drivers.
At the Las Vegas GP, the grid was chaotic with Hollywood stars and star athletes. Brundle spoke to the likes of Paul Mescal, the actor in Paul Mescal, and Olympic sprint Noah Lyles.

Because it is so crazy, Brundle often misses celebrities, but this time, he looked to purposefully not interview former Playmate Jenny McCarthy.
A man had tapped the pundit on his shoulder when on the gird and asked him: “Jenny McCarthy?” Brundle looked to be taken off guard, only to reply: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

This grid-walk was even more random as the ex-F1 driver didn’t have any sound as his ear piece was experiencing a technical issue. Despite the nod that the ex-Playmate was available for a chat, Brundle continued on his own way.
Often, it is other celebrities who snub Brundle himself. The likes of Cara Delevingne had rejected the pundit, and Megan Thee Stallion’s body guard told Brundle that he couldn’t talk to her. The 65-year-old simply responded: “Well I can that, because I just did.”
The race saw Brit George Russell take the win, but it was Max Verstappen who stole the show as he won his fourth world title in a row. He becomes the second ever driver, after Sebastian Vettel, to win his first four championships all one after another.
