And, Megan Thee Stallion too ended up giving the same treatment.

The 62-year-old getting snubbed by Megan and Serena sparked hilarious reactions from their fans, however, the F1 fans were not too elated to see the former British racing driver getting disrespected. Martin first tried to stop Megan on the F1 grid when her security intervened but he still managed to slip one question asking if she had a “freestyle rap” for F1. Serena, on the other hand swiftly left the scene leaving Martin hanging in between.

How Martin Brundle got snubbed by Megan Thee Stallion and Serena Williams? 

Martin Brundle first approached Megan Thee Stallion but soon his tall and heavy security guard intervened and tried to stop him mid-way but Megan took care of it as she showed a little interest in speaking to Brundle. He said, “You’re a freestyle rapper, have you got any rap for us today on Formula One?” To this Megan laughed and said, “I have no rap today, I’m sorry.” He then asked, “Who are you supporting in the race?” But before he could get an interesting reply, another member of her entourage- noticeably a slim and short guy asked to stop the interview. Brundle then stuck up for himself and told the man, “I can do that, because I did.”
 
A few moments later, Brundle had to face another awkward interaction when he tried speaking to Serena Williams. “Venus (Williams) wasn’t that keen to talk to me five years ago, I don’t know if I’ll get a double fault or an ace”, said Brundle before approaching Serena. Whilst introducing himself, he asked, “Serena, are you good for a chat? Martin Brundle, British TV.” It seems like Brundle had a tough luck over the weekend as she did not stop and immediately left the spot. Concluding how his conversation went with Serena, Brundle asserted, “It’s a double fault, it’s a double fault”, as reported by Fox Sports.

‘Losing my mind this is so embarrassing’

The Internet quickly reacted to Martin Brundle getting snubbed at the F1 grid. “@serenawilliams Too arrogant to talk should be two strikes and she's out! what does she think she's invited for? it's not to massage her ego”, said one as another chimed in, “Can someone please takeaway Serena Williams and Megan Thee Stallions F1 cards please?! No one disrespects Martin Brundle, ESPECIALLY not on the grid walk!”
 
The next one added, “Martin Brundle what the hell was stopping you from treating Megan Thee Stallion and Serena Williams like normal humans?? Why were you such a creep to them??” One user tweeted, “Martin Brundle is TANKING on the grid right now Megan The Stallion and Serena Williams were having none of it. I’m losing my mind this is so embarrassing.”  One posted, “No but white men are so embarassing. Martin Brundle what is you doing?! Leave Thee Stallion and Serena alone pls.” Another shared, “#F1 poor Martin Brundle getting the cold shoulder from some rap chick and @serenawilliams being a snob.” While, one individual concluded, “So disappointed to see how Megan Thee Stallion and her entourage treated @SkySportsF1 @MBrundleF1 today at the @F1#USGP. Highly disrespectful to a hugely loved member of the f1 paddock. Don't worry Martin, as a f1 community, the REAL fans appreciate you and your efforts.”
