Martin Brundle was blanked by Kim Kardashian and confronted someone who pushed him during a chaotic gridwalk before the Monaco Grand Prix
F1 icon Martin Brundle was blanked by Kim Kardashian in a chaotic Monaco Grand Prix gridwalk.
The former racing driver and Sky Sports pundit was undertaking his customary F1 gridwalk before Sunday’s race in Monte Carlo when he attempted to interview the reality TV star.
Kim has stolen the show this weekend after arriving in the F1 paddock on Saturday to support Lewis Hamilton after seemingly going public with her relationship with the Ferrari driver after months of links about a potential romance.

Brundle approached Kim, who was standing next to her sister Khloe and security guards. The 67-year-old introduced himself before asking how she was doing and enjoying the weekend.
However, Kim turned away from Brundle and was given advice by one of her entourage about how to navigate the awkward situation. Kim then put her hand up to Brundle and turned away again as one of her security holding an umbrella shook his head at the former racer.
Kim was the final celebrity that Brundle attempted to speak to during a chaotic grid walk after he was earlier shoved by someone as he attempted to reach the front of the grid.
Brundle immediately stopped and confronted the individual, fuming: “Don’t shove me, I’m nearly famous.”
Fans took to social media to criticise the reality star’s snub, one user said: “Kim Kardashian ignoring Martin Brundle is an insult, surely Lewis Hamilton would have mentioned his grid walk…..”
A second fumed: “Didn’t we just know Kim Kardashian would refuse to speak to Martin Brundle. Famous for absolutely nothing if any import, can’t carry an umbrella herself & she ignores Martin when talented sports persons & international actors embrace him. She has no place on our grid.”
A third added: “Martin Brundle & Kim Kardashian.. that might be the most awkward interaction I’ve ever seen.” While a fourth wrote: “Kim Kardashian blatantly ignoring martin brundle atleast say u dont want a interview instead of being disrespectful.”
