SKY SPORTS’ Martin Brundle was forced to apologise after a Red Bull crew member’s X-rated blast live on TV.
The popular F1 pundit – who ‘pulled an 89-year-old’ yesterday – was doing his famous grid walk ahead of this afternoon’s Monaco Grand Prix.
After already speaking to Kylie Minogue and then Orlando Bloom, Brundle tried to walk forwards.
But the Red Bull staff blocked his path and stood in his way, ushering him away and shaking his head.
The bloke, standing right in front of Neymar, Maria Sharapova and his boss Christian Horner, said: “No, no. I’m going to get in f***ing s***, dude.”
A panicking Sky producer can then be heard repeating: “We’re live,” before putting his finger to his lips to signal for the crew member to be quiet and stop swearing.

Brundle then bundles past him and adds: “Yeah, sorry for the language there everybody,” before interviewing Horner.
Incredibly, that was not the end of the drama for Brundle.
Later on, he spoke to singer Beverley Knight and chef Tom Kerridge.
But he then approached Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for a chat.

A hesitating Brundle said: “Thibaut, Martin Brundle, Sky F1, good to see to you.
“As a Spaniard, you’ve got Fernando Alonso and the lovely Carlos Sainz.”
Except, the ex-Chelsea stopper is actually Belgian – not Spanish.
However, the 101-cap star and Champions League winner handled it well.
Courtois replied: “Yes indeed. In Spain, we are rooting a lot for this 33rd victory of Fernando.
“He has a good starting position today so let’s see what can happen.”
Brundle then wrapped up and said: “Thank you very much.”
But as he walked away, he added: “And of course, he’s Belgian not Spanish but anyway.”
