Sky’s Martin Brundle rudely rejected Playboy bunny Jenny McCarthy on track at the Las Vegas GP

Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle once again brought the drama during his iconic pre-race grid walk at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Known for his impromptu and sometimes awkward celebrity interactions, Brundle’s latest moment came when he unexpectedly brushed off an opportunity to interview actress and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy.

The Snub Heard Around the Grid

The incident unfolded as Brundle was navigating the star-studded grid, fresh from interviews with Olympian Noah Lyles, actor Paul Mescal, and director Jerry Bruckheimer. As Brundle moved toward the front of the grid to interview drivers, a man approached him, attempting to direct his attention to McCarthy.

Brundle’s response? A casual, “It’s okay, it’s okay,” as he kept walking, leaving McCarthy’s representative in the dust.

Technical Glitch or Intentional Pass?

It later emerged that Brundle was experiencing technical issues and couldn’t hear instructions from his producers during the grid walk. However, his seemingly deliberate dismissal of McCarthy became an instant talking point among fans on social media.

Fans React to Brundle’s Snub

Social media users found the incident hilarious, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their amusement:

While the snub added to the grid walk chaos, Brundle stayed true to his mission of engaging with drivers before the national anthem. His dedication to keeping the focus on the race instead of celebrity chatter is one of the reasons fans adore his unpredictable grid interviews.
