Martin Brundle tells all on how his famous F1 Grid Walk began
For almost 30 years, ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle has been doing his grid walk, a segment that has become iconic in Formula 1 coverage.
Brundle’s grid walks began as a unique addition to his on-screen punditry for Sky Sports F1, where he shares his depth of motorsport knowledge with fans.
Having previously raced for top teams like Tyrell, Williams, Brabham, Benetton, and McLaren, Brundle brings a wealth of experience and insight to his role as a broadcaster.
Despite not always enjoying the chaos of live celebrity interactions on the grid, Brundle’s witty and authentic delivery has made him a favorite among F1 viewers.
The origin of Brundle’s grid walk dates back to the 1997 British Grand Prix, where he first experimented with the idea while working for ITV before eventually becoming a key part of Sky’s F1 coverage.
His unique approach, such as filming from inside a cockpit to show a driver’s view on the grid, has set Brundle’s grid walks apart and continues to be a beloved feature for fans of the sport.
