It’s hard to believe that it is 15 years ago since Martin Brundle broadcast his first pre-race grid walk at a Formula One Grand Prix. His debut stroll down the grid took place at the 1997 British GP, when he was working for ITV. A total of 260 races have gone by since then.
Promoted by Brundle’s own twitter feed, here is the footage from that first walk down the Silverstone starting grid.
One reply on “Martin Brundle’s first F1 grid walk”
Ah the memories… Martin looks so young back there, and very scrawny… I still remember him as a racer, but obviously he’s been a commentator for many years now, I guess new fans would only know him as a commentator. As much as I liked Murray, I certainly prefer the more technically accurate Brundle in the commentary booth 🙂
