The same bodyguard then pushed Martin's cameraman away! To Brundle's credit, when a blond guy in this rappers entourage told him he couldn't do that, Brundle responded that he could because he just did!

I don't think a bodyguard that is literally 3 times bigger than a 62 year old man should be pushing him or his film crew whilst on a heavily secure grid with VIPs only. This isn't some nightclub afterall. Brundle was reasonably upset and responded to the interaction on Monday.

I mean, it doesn’t matter that you don’t know her but apparently she’s a big deal. It’s unfortunate though because I can confidently bet a years salary that she doesn’t care about F1 nor could she name three drivers not counting Lewis. To be fair Brundle is a clown and Megan waved the ignorant clueless body guard away. That type of security behavior would get you fired where I’m from. There’s a difference between walking in an airport through random people and walking on the F1 circuit. Never embarras the client.
As for fan antics post race, this is mild compared to years prior before covid in Europe, the only difference is those celebrities who attend actually like F1.
