Martin Brundle is well known amongst the fans for his legendary pre-race grid walks. The Sky Sports pundit makes it a point to walk down the grid before the race starts and talk to the drivers or any other celebrities present on the grid.
However, during the Monaco Grand Prix, Martin Brundle got a hilarious interview not from any celebrity, but from an 89-year-old photographer. The photographer asked for Martin Brundle’s phone number at the end of the interview. This left the other Sky Sports Pundit laughing uncontrollably.
Martin Brundle had a hilarious interview session with the photographer
The whole incident happened after the third practice session got over in Monaco. The Sky team was walking down the grid and analyzing the practice session when Brundle noticed an old photographer on the grid.
Brundle asked the other pundits if they could interview the old lady taking photographs. The camera panned towards the lady, who tried to escape the shot. In a while, she realized that it was she who was Brundle’s subject of interest.
Brundle asked her name to which she replied, she replied: “Claudia Albuquerque, I admire you and everything that you do, and you’re fantastic.” Claudia then revealed that she had been taking photographs since she was 15. Currently, she is 89 but she isn’t looking to give up photography anytime soon.
Laugh out loud moment of the @F1 Monaco Grand Prix weekend when the wonderful Claudia Albuquerque tells @MBrundleF1 that she “Needs his card”! with @JensonButton enjoying every minute! Don’t think I’ve ever seen Martin look quite so scared!

After a little chat, Brundle said goodbye and Claudia wished him good luck. However, after that, she leaned in and said, “I need your card!” This caused Brundle to break out into a laugh. Jenson Button, who was alongside him also started laughing.
Host Simon Lazenby also congratulated Brundle. He was laughing as well and he patted the back of Brundle and exclaimed, “Great work!“
Martin Brundle has gotten into trouble before because of his interviews
Not all interviews have gone so smoothly for Brundle. During the 2022 United States Grand Prix, the British pundit was snubbed by tennis star Serena Williams when he tried to talk to her during the grid walk.
The same happened when he tried to interview American rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Brundle was stopped by the bodyguards of the rapper and wasn’t allowed to talk to her.
