Read our privacy policy Cara Delevingne awkwardly shut down an interview with Sky Sports’ Formula One presenter Martin Brundle at the British Grand Prix on Sunday. “If they don’t want to talk to @MBrundleF1 then they probably don’t deserve the honour of being on the grid @F1,” wrote former Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer. In November 2021, F1 introduced a new rule dubbed the “Martin Brundle clause”, which obliged any celebrities on the starting grid to lose their security entourage. I sort of like it if they ignore me, to be honest.” Following Brundle’s comments about the new procedure, Formula 1 clarified to PlanetF1: “Celebrities aren’t obliged to do interviews whilst on the grid, but security entourages are now no longer allowed to accompany them on there.” The rule was introduced after Brundle endured a farcical run-in with American rapper Meghan Thee Stallion, which went viral online after the “WAP” performer ignored Brundle’s questions.
