The only reason Kelly couldn’t hear or understand Brundle was that he was probably out of his head on something,

Does he? I've never heard or read him say this.

There's a lot of affection for Brundle and I think those celebs who deny themselves a few moments with him tend generally to show themselves up in the most spectacular fashion that is a joy to behold - particularly when Brundle retorts with his dry wit.

I think he manages to balance between gaining insights that are of interest to those properly interested in F1 and pander to the celebrity cult rather well.

I said that to my other half, he was off his rocker.

She's just as away with the fairies as he is, she a proper fruit loop!

I guarantee she will be at 10/10 on the hot crazy matrix

It'll be firmly in the "so bad its good" category.

Was once in a box with work for a local ice hockey match. We had a meeting, a 3 course dinner then the match started. Didn't really know much about what was going on but it was a much more entertaining evening than an ordinary work meeting.

Yesterday was brilliant - asking Bernie about the tax avoidance/court outcome was hilarious. The look on Bernie's face was glorious.
Bernie’s chat back was on point too, ace interaction.

Don’t get the fuss over MGK , he said more in those few moments than Kimi did in a decade and he was integral to the sport. Why not attend and look around it your invited, I’m sure he wasn’t expecting Brundle to talk to him. It was awkward but not nasty and they both wandered on.

To be fair to MGK, he tried to engage Brundle about something he did know about (music) and Brundle feckd him off. I though Brundle was far too dismissive at that point, it was just a bit of fun.

Interestingly, Sky have put the Gridwalk up: https://youtu.be/tN2CgP8pFV8?t=584 but edited the Bernie bit out - it was between the Merc and Ferrari bits. I'd recorded the program on the Sky box and listening back, Martin said Bernie had "looked after" HMRC which, listening back might be misconstrued. I wonder if that's the reason. Either way, whole section is gone from that upload.

Most likely they'd just rather not have anything said about it linked with Sky. Just steer clear in case something said and then repeatedly broadcast could give rise to a complaint form Bernie/HMRC - even if there's no particular reason it should.

Yeah, exactly. I couldn’t care less for Kelly, but it was Brundle who looked ignorant and rude there.

Brundle likely can spot airhead arrogant no-talent celebs instantly now and simply dismisses them. I was reminded of his Megan Thee (sic) Stallion encounter when he tried engaging with MGK yesterday. Both got what they deserved.

But he doorstopped Kelly.

Why would you spot an ‘airhead arrogant no-talent’ and try to engage them in a live interview??

The drivers and teams themselves must despise the grid walk, if I’m about to go on track I’d want nothing less than someone coming up to me for some inane chat whilst I’m trying to get in the zone.

Because they're strolling down an F1 grid so therefore it's reasonable to assume they have a load of stuff to discuss about F1? Even if he's just there 'because he can be', at least research and prep something to say if he's asked! It's not as if he isn't aware he's invited for the sake of being seen and spoken to... IE: at least make a token effort to show interest and understanding of the thing you've greedily accepted the invite too..

MGK then decided he'd be more comfortable asking Brundle to play 'air piano' - but that's a problem for Brundle as he's actually there to talk about F1, not pretend to play invisible instruments. As such, he politely excused himself and departed.
