Jackie Stewart Steals the Show Again in F1 Miami Grand Prix Grid Walk


In Martin Brundle’s famous Grid Walk ahead of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, fans watched as Formula 1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart once again helped the Sky Sports F1 commentator, grabbing Black Pink pop star and White Lotus actor Lisa for an interview. As you’d expect, this moment achieved viral status.

Ahead of the now-famous Miami race, the grid was swarming with celebrities from across the globe, on top of the usual team personnel readying their machinery for the race ahead. Boxing legend Evander Holyfield and current boxer Conor Benn were in attendance, both offering their time to the commentator and his cameraman.

Brundle, famous for not only his former driving in the sport but also his iconic grid walk interviews, approached Sir Jackie, wearing his usual tartan suit. The two chatted about the upcoming race, with the three-time champion professing his love for the trophy for the winner of today’s Grand Prix.

Spotting the actor behind the racing legend, Brundle wasn’t able to catch her eye, but Sir Jackie was ready to jump in once again. Previously, the racing driver secured an interview with Roger Federer for Brundle. Ducking under a security rope, Sir Jackie was able to chase down the sportsman and pull him into frame for Brundle to chat with.

This, understandably, went viral. And today, he did it once again.

Brundle, discussing the moment when Sir Jackie caught Federer, said the following:

“What a legend, 83 years old! I happened across him at the front of that rope, it was sort of like trying to get into a dodgy nightclub, wasn’t it?” he said.

“The pair of us, we had no chance – we had the wrong dress code or something!

“I found that whole procedure a little bit weird on the grid. But there were so many people around, and I particularly wanted to talk to Roger [Federer] as I got to the front there. I just happened to see Jackie and he was like, ‘Do you want to talk to him?’ and he said ‘I’ll get him, I’ll get him!’

“Then he jumps over the rope, and there were three people running after him. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, I’ve just gotten Jackie Stewart thrown out of this place’, and we’ve both been thrown out of better places than that!

“It was hilarious, really. Then I started to panic a little bit, if I’m honest! He’s 83, I don’t need him over there risking himself just for an interview. So he was great. That’s a true mate, isn’t it, when they go the extra mile for you like that?”
