Cara Delevingne faces massive backlash for denying interview to Martin Brundle

Among the aforementioned celebrities, it was supermodel Cara Delevingne who made the most headlines. She was present at the British GP 2023 as a guest for the Alfa Romeo team and was also seen hopping into the cockpit of their C43 car. However, what caught the attention of fans was her denial to give an interview to the legendary Martin Brundle.

During his regular ‘grid walk’ segment for Sky Sports F1 ahead of the British GP 2023, Brundle spotted Delevingne and attempted to get an interview. While he was warned off by an Alfa Romeo team member, Brundle responded, “She doesn’t want to talk, but everybody needs to talk on the grid. That’s the deal now, everybody talks on the grid.” Here’s a look at the video.

Meanwhile, fans continued to bash Cara on Twitter and said, “Cara Delevinge is so passionate about F1 she literally snubbed one of the sports biggest names. Martin Brundle. His grid walk is iconic and part of F1 and has been for years. Any F1 fan would leap.. actually BEG... at the chance to speak to him. Even if for 10 secs!!!”. This is not the first time Brundle was ignored by a celebrity on the grid when asked for an interview. He was involved in a similar incident with rapper Megan The Stallion during the US GP 2021 at COTA.
