Sky F1 star Martin Brundle requests police escort
Sky Sports F1 pundit and presenter Martin Brundle requested a police escort for the Brazilian Grand Prix after his colleagues received support from local authorities in Mexico. Brundle missed the Mexican GP, using one of his scheduled absences in 2025, as he is contracted to work 16 race weekends this season. Following the Mexico race, Brundle’s colleagues revealed they had a police escort in Mexico City to help with traffic navigation, prompting Brundle to request a similar arrangement for Brazil. The issue of safety and security at the Brazilian GP was raised, with past incidents involving F1 teams and personnel facing security concerns in Brazil. The FIA has emphasized its commitment to safety at Formula 1 events in the wake of these incidents, stating its intention to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure a safe environment.
