Over the years, Brundle, 66, has become a key part of Sky Sports’ Formula 1 coverage, mainly offering analysis on commentary alongside David Croft. The former F1 driver, who raced for teams like Williams, Brabham, Benetton and McLaren, has also seen his popularity grow due to his famous pre-race grid walks.
However, Brundle has already missed two races this season, leading to questions being asked about his long-term future with the broadcaster.

Replying to a fan, Brundle wrote : “Utter clickbait nonsense Margaret, don’t be concerned.
I’ve done 16 races per year for a good while now and continue to do so. “In fact with the cancellations I am at 15 of the remaining 19 races this season, subject to world events of course, as always. ” 2009 world champion Button then replied to Brundle’s tweet amid rumours he could be the 66-year-old’s long-term replacement.
He wrote : “Nobody should be replacing Martin until he decides he’s had enough. I’ve listen to Martin in comms since I started in the sport and love his knowledge, insights and work ethic. “As much as I enjoy jumping in the comms box when Martin is taking a well deserved break I wouldn’t want to do anymore as I’ve got enough going on!
