Fans in stitches as Martin Brundle ‘pulls’ 89-year-old woman on live TV during F1 practice at Monaco GP
F1 fans were in hysterics after watching Martin Brundle “pull” an 89-year-old woman on live TV.
The beloved motorsport pundit was out in Monaco with the rest of the Sky Sports team as they presided over the iconic Grand Prix weekend.
The Monaco circuit is arguably the most famous and historic track on the entire F1 calendar.
And expectation for the weekend is high with even the likes of seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton coming a cropper on the tight Monegasque streets.
But ahead of qualifying most F1 fans were not talking about the cars on track after Brundle’s latest antics.
The analyst is well known for his pre-race grid walks where he talks to celebrities and members of the public.
But he got going a day earlier in Monaco as he spoke to a 89-year-old photographer – who turned out to be a big admirer of his.
Brundle appeared equally keen on the woman as the two chatted away in the pitlane on live TV.
After catching her attention, Brundle appeared fascinated by her and asked about her photography.
She said in response: “I admire you and everything you’re doing.”

As Brundle shook her hand at the end of the interview, she pulled him close and said: “I need your card.”
F1 host Simon Lazenby was left doubled over in laughter.
Fans were also left beside themselves at the off-script interaction.
One said: “Did Martin Brundle just pull live on tele??”
While another said: “Martin Brundle getting propositioned in pit lane by an octogenarian photographer on live tv might be the funniest piece of television I’ve seen in a long, long time.”
Another said: “Get yer coat Martin….you’ve pulled!!”
And one amused viewer tweeted: “Omg that 89 year old woman asking for Martin Brundle’s number. I am howling!”
Brundle’s exploits aside, fans have plenty to be excited about this weekend.
Following last week’s race cancellation in Italy, expectation is building that the dominant Red Bull team could be given some fierce competition in the fight for pole.
