Kim Kardashian is being roasted by Formula 1 fans on social media after a toe-curling encounter with iconic TV reporter and former driver Martin Brundle at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The reality TV star appeared on the grid in Monaco on Sunday as she supported her new boyfriend Lewis Hamilton at the most glamorous race on the F1 calendar.
Kim, who was joined by her sister Khloe and watched the race unfold with fellow WAG Alexandra Leclerc, was standing with her entourage watching the pre-race ceremony unfold in the Mediterranean principality.
She was approached by Brundle of British broadcaster Sky Sports, who has become famed within F1 for his pre-race walkabouts where he interviews celebrities on the grid before every race.
Brundle walked up and down the packed Monaco grid in the moments before the race looking for celebrities and drivers to interview.
He noticed Kim and Khloe standing by the track and approached them to try and get a word while on live TV.
But the two sisters chose to rudely ignore Brundle, refusing to say a single word to him before they turned to their entourage in a bid to seemingly get him moved away.
The moment has since sparked fury among the F1 fans watching on at home.
One commented: ‘Kim Kardashian is not too good to talk to Martin Brundle. What a complete lack of class.’
Another commented: ‘Didn’t we just know Kim Kardashian would refuse to speak to Martin Brundle. Famous for absolutely nothing, can’t carry an umbrella herself and she ignores Martin when talented sports persons and international actors embrace him. She has no place on our grid.’
A third replied: ‘Can we please ban these disrespectful ingrates like Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevigne [sic] from F1? If you won’t show the respect the people who make the sport what it is deserve, you have no place in our world.’
