Martin Brundle’s Monaco grid walk was filled with entertaining moments, from celebrity encounters to awkward interviews, but it was a conversation with Red Bull that caused the biggest issue for the presenter.
With a star-studded grid, Brundle interacted with A-list actors and singers, including Orlando Bloom, Beverly Knight and Kylie Minogue discussing everything from the upcoming Gran Turismo film to the exciting race ahead.
Trying to speak to Horner during a packed grid, a member of Red Bull appeared unaware of what was happening, being overheard on the broadcast saying “I’m going to get in so much f****** s*** dude.”
The staff member was promptly warned that they were live on Sky Sports, with Brundle swiftly apologising to viewers for the swearing before returning to his chat with Horner.

Brundle is no stranger to tough experiences during the grid walk, having been blanked, blocked by security guards and other awkward encounters in the past.
The incident didn’t distract Red Bull from delivering another dominant performance around the streets of Monaco, as the team continued its 100% win record this season.
