Martin Brundle has praised Sir Jackie Stewart after the Formula 1 icon risked getting chucked out the Miami Grand Prix to help him interview Roger Federer.
The bizarre incident unfolded when Stewart ignored security to get tennis hero Federer's attention for the Sky Sports interviewer. Federer's bodyguards then manhandled Stewart, leaving Brundle worried the three-time world champion would be shown the door.
Thankfully, calmer minds prevailed and everything was OK. Ex-driver Brundle, who is known for his legendary grid walks before GPs, has called Stewart a "true mate" for his selfless favour but criticised the Miami International Autodrome's "weird" grid set up.
