Former Formula 1 driver turned pundit Martin Brundle found himself faced with yet another celebrity who refused to engage with him during his iconic ‘grid walk’ segment at the British GP. This time, it was model Cara Delevingne, who joined the ranks of Megan Thee Stallion in giving Brundle the cold shoulder amidst criticism for her actions.

Brundle, undeterred by the snub, took it in stride and sarcastically remarked, “Ok… I’m sure it would have been extremely interesting.” However, Delevingne took to social media after the race to share her perspective on the incident, responding to a former Haas team member’s tweet suggesting that Brundle deliberately sought controversy.

In her tweet, Delevingne revealed, “I was told to say no, so I did. Thank you for seeing both sides. Anyway, I had so much fun today and was so happy to be there no matter what anyone else may think.” She clarified that it was an “F1 representative” who instructed her to decline the interview, not her agent as some had speculated.

During the exchange with Brundle, an Alfa Romeo staff member accompanying Delevingne on the grid was also drawn into the conversation. Brundle argued that the current rule dictates that everyone should be available for interviews. To dispel any confusion, Delevingne explicitly stated, “It wasn’t an agent, it was an F1 representative.”

Shifting focus to the on-track action at Silverstone, Max Verstappen secured his eighth win of the 2023 F1 season, marking his sixth consecutive victory. Red Bull’s triumph also equaled McLaren’s record for the most consecutive wins with a remarkable tally of 11.

While the snub during the grid walk created a buzz, it is the thrilling racing moments that will be remembered from the British GP. Verstappen’s dominance and Red Bull’s impressive run continue to captivate fans and keep the championship battle alive. As the season progresses, the events both on and off the track will undoubtedly provide more excitement and intrigue for Formula 1 enthusiasts worldwide.
