Why is Martin Brundle absent from the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
F1 legend Martin Brundle will be absent at this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, leaving fans without the anticipated star-studded grid walk. This absence is part of Brundle’s new agreement with Sky, allowing him a week off as he is now contracted to work only 16 race weekends in 2025. The 16-race limit is a cost-saving measure Sky has implemented due to F1’s busy schedule. Brundle’s usual Sky F1 colleagues are covering for him, like Anthony Davidson, David Croft, and Jenson Button. Sky Sports’ lineup rotates, so Brundle and his colleagues are not at every race weekend. The grid walk at the Las Vegas Grand Prix may be conducted by different Sky presenters. With coverage provided by Button, Lazenby, Kravitz, and Collins, the absence of Brundle will be notable.
