Martin Brundle declared his affection for "true friend" Sir Jackie Stewart after the Formula 1 legend's run-in with a security guard while trying to help him on the Miami Grand Prix grid.
The incident was caught by the Sky Sports TV cameras towards the end of Brundle's grid walk segment. With just a few seconds left, he wanted to have a brief chat with Roger Federer.
The tennis legend was in a VIP section of the grid, posing for selfies with fans, as he waited for the action to begin. Brundle shouted his name several times in an Alan Partridge-esque attempt to get the Swiss' attention, but Federer could not hear.
