Brundle reveals 'effusive' celebrity he was most surprised by in 2023
Martin Brundle has revealed who most surprised him during the 2023 season
Martin Brundle has revealed the celebrity he was most surprised by on one of his gridwalks during the 2023 season.
Brundle comes face to face with countless high-profile figures prior to each race, and while some go swimmingly, others really don't - take his encounter with Machine Gun Kelly, for example.
But Sam Ryder, best known for representing the United Kingdom at Eurovision in 2022, was Brundle's most impressive interviewee, according to the man himself.

Brundle: I've never seen someone so excited
Brundle said he rarely comes across someone as enthused about being at a Formula 1 race than Ryder.
"Sam Ryder," he wrote during his Sky F1 Q&A. "He was effusive, and thrilled and contacted me on Instagram afterwards.
"I've never seen a bloke so excited to be on the grid."
While fans eagerly await the return of Brundle's F1 gridwalks in 2024, they are poised for his distinctive insights and engaging style, which always adds an extra layer of excitement and, often, humour to the pre-race atmosphere.
