What is the “Brundle Clause” in F1?

After an altercation with the bodyguard of rapper Megan Thee Stallion, Brundle announced that Formula 1 had instituted a new regulation requiring celebrities to part ways with their bodyguards before the commencement of races after the 2021 season.

When Brundle was performing his daily grid walk, in which he asked quick questions to crews, drivers, and VIPs before the start of a race, the performer’s entourage shoved Brundle out of the way.

On the incident, Brundle said: “I have felt under pressure on the grid before but by people called Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Mansell, Piquet and so on.”

“Bodyguards visiting the grid for the first time don’t bother me, everyone’s got a job to do, but they could maybe learn some manners and respect on our patch.”

Celebrity entourages are reportedly restricted when on the grid due to Brundle’s complaints having been heard by F1 officials.
