Cara Delevingne’s ‘rudeness’ on F1 grid has Sky presenter calling for action

Cara Delevingne's awkward grid walk snub of Martin Brundle has led to one Sky Sports F1 presenter calling for FIA intervention.

The Hollywood actress and leading model refused to talk to the motorsport icon at the British GP at Silverstone and has since taken to social media to say she was just doing what she was told.

Brundle brushed off the encounter and had a lengthy chat with Sam Ryder to the delight of fans – but Karun Chandhok was left rather annoyed.

The Sky Sports colleague of Brundle, who competed for Hispania Racing in Formula One in 2010, tweeted on Sunday: "I honestly think we should have a 'chart of rudeness' in F1!

"Next time, take the grid passes from people who don't care and give it some deserving kids who will treasure the experience."

Brundle's grid walks have provided a welcomed part of F1 viewing for fans, recently asking Mason Mount if he was joining Manchester United and asking a random fan: "Who are you?"

The presenter quipped after his interview request was turned down this week: "Ok, alright, well I'm sure that would have been extremely interesting."

Shortly after the event this week, Delevingne tweeted in reply to a fan that backed her: "I was told to say no so I did. Thank you for seeing both sides."

She added: "Anyway, I had so much fun today and was so happy to be there no matter what anyone else may think."

Delevingne, 30, has previously spoken out about her battles with depression and anxiety.

Brundle had nine podium finishes across his career as an F1 driver, making 158 starts between 1984 and 1996.

The 64-year-old spent time with ITV Sport between 1997 and 2008 and BBC from 2009 until 2011 before joining Sky Sports in 2012.

Back in 2016, Brundle suffered a heart attack while running to do podium interviews with the drivers.
