F1 legend Martin Brundle has lashed out at X owner Elon Musk for being an 'interfering d***'. Brundle, who competed in F1 between 1984 and 1996, has become an integral part of Sky Sports' coverage in recent years, with his famous 'grid walk', where he interviews celebrities before the race, becoming a hit with fans.

The 2024 F1 season concluded last month and Brundle has kept a low profile in recent weeks, but he has thrust himself back into the spotlight by taking aim at Musk following his repeated attacks on Keir Starmer in recent days. Taking to X on Monday night, Brundle threatened to quit the platform as he wrote: 'I’m conflicted. I like Twitter/X and it has served F1, Sky, me, and people around me, very well for a good while. But @elonmusk is such a daily globally interfering d*** I feel the need to go somewhere else.'.

After receiving responses from fans, Brundle returned with a follow-up post a couple of hours later that read: 'I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the diversity to my last post, including the negativity. That’s what keeps you alive and motivated, and in touch. I’ll stick with Twatter/X and keep my mind open. Opinions are like noses, everybody’s got one and they all count.'.
