Kim Kardashian Makes Bold Move to Fix Awkward Martin Brundle F1 Snub as Fans Say ‘She Nailed It’
Kim Kardashian returned to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, at the Singapore Grand Prix, where she addressed her previous awkward encounter with Martin Brundle. The beauty mogul addressed the viral incident involving Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle. With her latest move, she appeared to impress her fans, who said that she “nailed it” with the interview this time.
According to Reality Tea, Kardashian also made a high-profile appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix over the summer. It was the first time the SKIMS founder publicly stepped in to support Hamilton amid their viral romance. Her sister, Khloé Kardashian, joined her at the time as part of Team Hamilton. However, when Brundle, in his usual element, approached the reality star for a brief interview, she ignored him. Her security soon stepped up to stop Brundle from talking to her.
Kardashian upset many F1 fans after snubbing the former driver and a well-known name in the sport. She was branded insensitive and rude by F1 fans as her gesture brushed them the wrong way.
When Kardashian recently attended the Singapore Grand Prix, she attempted to undo her mistake. She met Brundle for the second time while standing at the F1 Paddock at the Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore. The moment he approached her, Kardashian said, “Did I not know the rules? Did we get off on the wrong foot?” She swiftly touched Brundle’s arm in a friendly gesture and smiled throughout their interaction.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star admitted that she was unaware of the event rules, including that guests are supposed to speak with broadcasters and share their views about the race. The Sky Sports anchor also reassured her that everything was fine between them.
Fans appreciated Kardashian’s gesture, with one Instagram user saying, “She handled it well and learnt from last time.” Another added, “I think this is exactly the right way to handle it. Address it head on and move on in a different way.” “Nah, I have respect for her now,” a third user noted, referring to their changed perception of the 45-year-old.
One Instagram user claimed, “I’m sure Lewis told her that Martin was a past driver.” “You’re doing amazing, sweetie,” a fifth user quipped.
Kardashian also spoke about her boyfriend in a rare moment during the interaction. She called the sport “amazing and wild,” claiming she has never experienced something like it before. According to the Daily Mail, she said, “I think it’s amazing and fun and wild and something I’ve never seen before. It’s amazing.”
The mother of four also mentioned that she was rooting for Hamilton. She said, “I’m just praying for the best tonight. Yes, [he is] very confident and so am I; just got to pray for the best.”
Kardashian and Hamilton are no longer shying away from sharing glimpses of their relationship with their fans. The couple often posts loved-up pictures on social media and gives their fans a sneak peek into their dates.
Hamilton was also spotted spending time with Kardashian’s kids, whom she shares with Kanye West. The F1 driver joined the beauty mogul and her kids on a trip to Japan. Insiders have claimed that the couple’s relationship is more serious than ever.
