When Martin Brundle had to get his elbows out with Kylian Mbappé's security in Monaco 😅 https://t.co/CMhP4TzvHf

What happened: Sky Sports F1 resurfaced a moment from Martin Brundle's famous Monaco Grand Prix grid walk in which the commentator had to 'get his elbows out' to navigate past footballer Kylian Mbappe's security detail. The light-hearted clip captures the crush of celebrities and minders that crowds the grid before the race in Monte Carlo.

Why it matters: Brundle's pre-race grid walk is one of F1's signature broadcast traditions, regularly producing awkward and viral encounters with the sport's high-profile guests. Monaco draws the densest concentration of celebrities on the calendar, making the walk harder to execute and a recurring source of memorable television.

What to watch: Expect more of the same when broadcasters return to the grid for the next round, with Brundle's walk a fixture of Sky's pre-race coverage.
