Ahead of the new season, F1's most meme-able star talks about his favourite uncomfortable interactions – or what he describes as “unscripted, unrehearsed, car crash telly”

That was a great read, I love Brundle's little anecdotes. F1 wouldn't be the same without the pure carnage of the gridwalk!

For some reason I find it genuinely uncomfortable to watch.

That's what makes it so funny. He always seem to put the spotlight on how absurd this whole thing is. It's only gotten better since the influx of clueless "celebrities".

As Martin himself says it's car crash TV. You can't bear to watch it but you can't look away!

I can’t really stand Brundle or Crofty anymore, especially when Jacques, Palmer and DC are so incredibly good. But I have to admit that some of his grid walk moments are absolutely brilliant.
