Why is Sky Sports F1 legend Martin Brundle absent from Imola Grand Prix?
“Martin Brundle, the legendary Formula 1 pundit, will be absent from this weekend’s Imola Grand Prix, leaving fans to miss his unique presence in the paddock.
Fans tuning into Sky Sports F1’s coverage in Italy were surprised by Brundle’s absence, with other commentators like Natalie Pinkham and Jacques Villeneuve stepping in.
David Croft, another popular commentator, was also missing from the 2025 Imola GP, which was one of his confirmed absences for the season.
Brundle is reportedly not contracted to attend every race weekend this season, with him set to miss a total of eight rounds, including this weekend’s event in Imola.
Despite his absence, Brundle’s contribution to F1 coverage, including his iconic grid walk, will be sorely missed by fans who will have to rely on other presenters for the unique insights.”
