Martin Brundle was involved in another classic grid-walk moment as he had an awkward exchange with former Italian footballer Marco Materazzi.
The Sky Sports F1 pundit and co-commentator is given time to walk down the track and interview drivers, team principals and other guests before the start of a Grand Prix race. Today, before the Australian Grand Prix got underway in Melbourne, Brundle met with the former Inter Milan defender who is also best known for being on the receiving end of the infamous Zinedine Zidane headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final.
However, Brundle’s interview with the ex-pro didn’t get off to a flyer as he initially asked “Are you Marco Marriachi? Matazzi?” The former footballer remained polite, however, asking the Sky Sports man how he was before Brundle asked him if he was a big Ferrari fan and which team he played for.
