Personally I find his grid walk kind of silly. I fast-forward over it.

I often wonder why teams invite people on the grid that have absolutely nothing with either the cars, or the sport or cars or speed in general.
I mean some blonde model/actress with nothing but air between the ears...What is her added value to the grid?
There are lots of celebrities/models etc that make a team look good and still have something with the sport, or cars or bikes.
I'm glad it blew up on social media and that it imho also makes Alpha romeo look bad, I hope they learn from it. Or maybe they could explain why they invited that person....
I'm not extremely fond of Brundle (not that I hate hem, he's ok but not exceptional), but somehow he has this talent to seek out such persons or situations, just like that incident with Megan Thee Stallion (or at least her bodyguards
), that was also hilarious. That resulted in the FIA banning bodyguards on the grid (although I think that will change when royalty is on the grid...)
What I also don't get: these stars (at least the ones that aren't really into cars or the sport), are there for media exposure. Brundle does the grid walk for sky, which is probably the channel that tends the most to the section of viewers that also the stars are targetting...why don't they familiarize themselvs with Brundle (like those bodyguards). He is the one they should talk to. He has the camera that gives them the most media exposure.
