Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle found himself in yet another animated encounter on the Formula One grid, this time crossing paths with a member of Kylian Mbappe’s security team.

It’s become a tradition for celebrities attending races to be interviewed by the former F1 driver, and Brundle was eager to catch a word with Mbappe before the Monaco GP commenced. Despite Brundle’s courteous attempt to approach Mbappe, a security guard intervened, extending an arm to obstruct Brundle’s path.

Unfazed, Brundle humorously asserted his authority, quipping, “It’s alright mate, I’m in charge around here.” Mbappe seemed oblivious to the exchange, continuing to walk as Brundle, holding his microphone, matched his pace amid the bustling grid.

Persistently, Brundle addressed Mbappe, introducing himself and expressing his readiness to chat. Eventually, Mbappe acknowledged Brundle, though he attempted to deflect the questions, stating he was solely there for the race.

Undeterred, Brundle switched gears, teasing Mbappe about racing F1 cars to Monaco’s first corner, prompting a laugh from the football star who insisted he was simply there to enjoy the moment.

Brundle concluded the exchange with a sly remark directed at the security personnel before social media buzzed with reactions to the incident, with fans praising Brundle’s grid walk antics, reminiscent of his clash with security at the F1 Grand Prix in Texas a couple of years prior.
