Dogshit take. F1 doesn’t need those kind of celebrities to be relevant. Cannot imagine a scenario where there is any crossover where someone sees her at F1 and decides to become a fan.

Brundle’s grid walk is waaay more important to the racing community than a celebrity prancing around the grid. Her people knew what they were doing by having her walk around with the TV cameras following her and an average of 450 million people worldwide (including double digit increases in the US this year) watching…

Another "insightful" article by Jalopniks least useful reporter.  Can you contribute something meaningful that isn't click bait?

You’re right, the reigning (7-time) world champion, a black man, is regularly getting shot at before his races.

Both Stiller and Lucas have been to many F1 races before, and are legitimate fans of the sport. Lucas even did a podium interview a few years ago (he was awful at it, btw).

Brundle has clarified on Twitter this rule has nothing to do with him directly and he didn’t speak to any of the higher ups or request it.

You sir, are a fucking idiot.

Exactly, who the Hell is “Meghan Thee Stallion” except some crudely under-dressed minor rapper who has ZERO interest in Formula 1, and is only there for the purpose of self-aggrandizement. Frankly, as much as I appreciate the talent of some performers, like Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock and others, it has…

An awful lot in this thread are missing the point. Martin’s there to interview people on the grid, both racing folks and famous folks. Those folks are there as the guests of F1, NOT “Red Bull” or “Mercedes” or whomever. They don’t get on the grid without F1's blessing. And F1 is Liberty Media, the people supplying the…

This take is confidently incorrect.

This is a totally wrong take.  So wrong it’s….ah, whatever.   There’s no point. 

That was dumb indeed, but I’m sure he would’ve asked something better if he had the chance. You can break the ice with something silly initially, sometimes it works (that would never work, but still). People in war like you see malice in everything.

I very much dislike the spiteful tone of this article. That chick has zero idea what F1 is. She was using that grid for anything but interest in the sport, otherwise she wouldn’t be naked just existing or whatever. Of course she was being paid but the least that is expected in this case is that you have a welcoming att…

I think it was obvious he was playing when he asked MTS to freestyle and in fairness to her she laughed it off, her bodyguards were just overzealous, this is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Wrong take Elizabeth- F1 and racing in general doesn’t need these professional POSERS. The pre race preparation on grid is way more important to racing fans than a bunch of muppets with bodyguards. F1 is the pinnacle of 4 wheeled technology and unless you add some value to the grid they should not be allowed on the…

Sorry but no. F1 has done just fine for 70-odd elitist years and enjoys a global fan base, exposure, reach and revenue that every other Motorsport on the planet only dreams of. Liberty Media has indeed done good things to give fans better access and a wider F1 social media presence, and sure like any business it’s…

Brundle rightfully doesn’t give a shit about what happened and there’s nothing really wrong with the rule. It seem like you’re upset that they’re gatekeeping and want fans to show up, not people there for the spectacle. I don’t care about people complaining in comment sections about someone not deserving to be there.…

Jalopnik should stop writing about Formula 1. It’s clear that you don’t enjoy it and don’t understand it.

Are you a journalist? For real?
