Martin Brundle offered his "full support" to Sky Sports colleague Ted Kravitz as he broke his silence on Red Bull's boycott.
The team followed their driver Max Verstappen in refusing to speak to the broadcaster at the Mexican Grand Prix. It came in the wake of comments made by pit lane reporter Kravitz, to which the Dutchman took exception.
In Austin a week earlier, Kravitz suggested Lewis Hamilton had been "robbed" of the world title in 2021, when he dramatically and controversially lost out on the title in Abu Dhabi. That comment was the final straw for Red Bull, who were unhappy with a number of comments made by Sky pundits this season.
