Formula 1 commentator Martin Brundle has revealed he suffered a minor heart attack during Sky's broadcast of the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix.

The Sky Sports F1 expert had just finished his duties for his channel's main live race feed in Monte Carlo when he had to make a dash to the podium for the post-event interviews with the top three.

It was during the run that Brundle suffered the issue, and only found out afterwards how serious it was.

"I had a small heart attack running to do the podium in Monaco," Brundle said on stage at Autosport International.

"I ended up with a 23mm stent in my left anterior descending."

Brundle underwent a heart operation soon after the Monaco race and missed the following grand prix in Canada so he could recover.

Blimey. I'm glad we didn't have to add his name to the 2016 death list.

He is a very classy guy, one of the best - it might be nice if this thread was deleted don't you think?

Why? It was reported in Autosport today after he made mention of it whilst on stage at the Autosport International show. It is news. And a public announcement.

Absolutely no disrespect intended to him whatsoever.

Edit:
The story is also being reported by ESPN, F1Fanatic, and it seems Brundle himself mentioned it on Twitter back in June of last year.

Just a thought. If your conversations never deviate from the original highly specific topic, the participants probably aren't the best conversationalists.

In that case, why do we have forums and topics? Why not just one big chat room called "stuff"?
