Martin Brundle has issued an apology to legendary Queen guitarist Brian May following an awkward interaction during the F1 grid walk at the British Grand Prix on Sunday.

Brundle attempted to interview May, who was present๊ at Silve🎃rstone as a guest of Mercedes.

As he approached May,ဣ Brundle said during his grid walk “Brian are you up for a chat 🧸with Sky?”

May refused, leadಞing Brundle to say: “You don’t need to know anything. Nice to see you on the grid, thank you very much.”

Addressing the viewers: “We don’t want to make life difficult for him. He said he doesn’t know enough about F1. I respect that. He doesn’t want to stand there 𝕴and pretend he does. That’s absolutely fine.”

Ma🍎y addressed ꦚthe situation with a post on his website.

“I had a great day at Silverstone thanks to the kindness of the Mercedes team an🍸d my gran🍒dson had some truly historic birthday moments,” .

“And by the way, apologies to Mr Brundle. Absolutely no 💖intention ꦫof snubbing you. All you see is someone who is nervous of speaking about something of which he has little understanding and anxious to get to where he is supposed to be.”

Shortly after, Brundle took to social media to 🍎apologise.

He wrote on his X account: “It is me who should be apologising🦩 to Sir Brian May, not him to me for the gridwalk on Sunday at Silverstone.

“I didn’t address him as Sir Brian, and I shouldn’t have approached him twice when he wasn’t up for a chat on live TV. Nobody is ever obliged to tไalk to me on the grid, or anywhere else for that matter.”
