Kim Kardashian has faced backlash from Formula 1 fans after an awkward encounter with veteran broadcaster Martin Brundle at the Monaco Grand Prix. The reality TV star, attending to support boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, was approached by Brundle during his pre-race grid walk but gave a cold response.
Brundle, from Sky F1, greeted Kardashian with 'Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?' She offered only a brief smile before turning away and whispering with a bodyguard. Brundle was then heard telling security, 'No, you don't need to push me mate.'
Social media users condemned Kardashian's behaviour, with one calling it 'a complete lack of class' and another labelling it 'pure arrogance.' A third commenter said she had 'no place on our grid,' contrasting her with other celebrities who engage with Brundle.
Kardashian, accompanied by sister Khloe and a large entourage, wore a cream dress and heels. She and Hamilton went public at the Super Bowl in February. The race was won by Kimi Antonelli, who became the youngest winner in Monaco Grand Prix history at 19 years and nine months.
