Sky Sports' iconic reporter Martin Brundle drew public attention at Sunday's Formula 1 race when he attempted to interview renowned reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian before the start. Kardashian declined the interview, sparking widespread debate on social media about etiquette.

Brundle, who has been known for decades for his bold and direct grid walk interview style, approached the duo to request a quick comment before the race began. Kim Kardashian rejected the offer, which drew criticism from both F1 fans and the wider media.

This was not the first time Brundle has experienced refusals or uncomfortable situations during grid walks; clips from his interviews are widely shared on social media and have become a recognizable element of the F1 season. However, such behaviour toward the celebrated reporter has been considered disrespectful by many.

The Kardashians were likely at the event as guests, but their conduct did not go unnoticed. According to various commentators, a brief interview would have been an easy way for the star to use public attention positively and would have provided free publicity for her clothing brand Skims.
