As a seasoned voice in the world of Formula 1, Martin Brundle offers a unique perspective, reliving tales of his on-track duels with titans like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher. Brundle speaks on driving a whopping 68 F1 cars in the past few decades from Fangio’s W196 streamliner & Senna’s legendary MP4/8 just to name a few.
Martin describes in great detail the crash that caused his injuries, how close he came to losing his foot, and what impact that had on the rest of his time in F1.

the ads u tube do have stolen this storey from me
it's unbelievable how much Oliver Bearman's name arises to the spotlight out of nowhere. his Saudi Arabia performance was average if that, and he is quite poor on F2, but they keep on pushing this guy upwards.
Martin Brundle is supremely talented as a communicator.
Could listen to him for ages.
So informative. Utterly charming. Easy company.
Martin.. you are the conduit to Muray's legacy, Thanks so much.
“I feel sorry for them that they missed the upside of their greatness” – what an amazingly accurate statement to the great drivers that never got to walk away from the car. Martin is a legend of the sport and a national treasure! Great interview, thanks for sharing this with all of us!
Martin also brought the same attitude to his broadcasting career. I can't remember how many times this guy had his elbows out on the grid walk, literally, trying to get interviews with the drivers. It was kind of funny to see Michael snub him all the time.
Truly great great person ❤
this title didnt age well
Martin has a great way of describing what it's like to drive a f1 car mid commentary better than anyone. A true legend for me. Have as many breaks as you need to keep you going for longer!
Martin is an institution, in a similar way that Murray Walker was. We miss him when he’s not at the track. Fact!
Man I love Martin Brundle! Blokes a treasure….
ha ha ha ha ha — Brundle racing Senna and Schumacher ??? It's really a sorry sight to see a zero-gp-winner drag himself along the pits trying to find people willing to be interviewed.
he reaaaalllyyyy likes Max huh ?
One of the most underrated drivers in F1 history
Martin was the best sports commentator hands down in British sport from 97 to probably 05 06 for me personally
Thanks for reminding me of my ankle pain lol. Putting it off for 10 years now haha. This man has so many stories and such an interesting insight to the people in the Sport
MB is a true Gentleman and Scholar! 🌴
Everyone fears Hamilton re No 1……..Simple Maths Guys and girls
Ah yes the 2 classic S words baits in F1 …
Fantastic and very interesting interview. Great work Tom 👌👏👍
Really appreciate having Martin Brundle reflect on his era and the incredible courage you needed to race in the earlier eras in 60's/70's in F1. I recall Martins accident on tv but didn't appreciate just how badly broken his feet were. It's incidents like this and Lauda's crash that instilled a passion for F1 because of these guys courage and eagerness to go back to what they loved. It is incredibly true in ANY sport that people with rare natural skills always peak our interests most because it is something you just cannot learn it's like a super human attribute. I've encountered this through many younger years in Rugby and Soccer – there was always that 1 or 2 players that just did freaky things others couldn't, this is why Always preferred Senna to Schumacher, and if you want to talk about finding grip you must mention Kimi in Portimao 2020. Also agree with Tom's comment on depth and distance perception – it seems like a simple thing but is incredibly rare – I was that guy that could throw any object (cricket ball, apple, lemon, rock, ball of paper) anywhere from 10M-80M and hit a target l1ft diameter repeatedly sometimes with no practice and other times even moving – like birds in flight!. My first office job I threw a paper ball 15m into a small garbage bin 10 times in a row. Regret never pursuing motor racing because I had incredible reflexes once measure in 000's of a second along with that hand eye co-ordination – it always freaked my friends outs both in sports and in cars and opponents hated me.
martin is the only reason i watch on skysports..
No one cares what brundle says, he was a wash out while racing and has been for the rest of his life, he has no right having opinions on drivers in a different category than him.
Had no idea at his foot injuries. My respect for him has gone up 10 fold
Murray Walker knew better.🤷🏻♂️
Martin learnt his commentary skills from the greatest of them all, the late, great Murray Walker. Without doubt, Martin is the most engaging and knowledgeable commentator today. His grid walks are a wonderful taster for the main race. He raced against two of the greatest drivers, Ayrton and Michael. It was so absorbing to hear his comparative views. I too agree Ayrton, above them all, was the greatest, yet Fangio, Clark, Stewart and latterly Verstappen, are all unique drivers who were/are the best of their eras. I remember Martin racing F1. He promised so much, yet that ankle injury, similarly to Johnny Herbert's, ruined what could have been a glittering career, but he more than made up for it in sports cars. This is such a great interview. Thank you for posting.
If we are talking about public relations ,the winner is DR.
Martin is a fossil holding on to prehistoric meanings and beliefs. Can miss him like a pimple on my forehead.
The greatest driver of all times (( is )) Fernando Alonso. period.
No question Senna was the GOAT, followed by Schumacher!
Martin is the one of the kind
He got one hearth attack while running for interview after a race in 2017 I think. Respect for drivers in the past at times where your life was hanging by a thread. Now we have electronics, simulators and sensors and cars are now responsible for 80 % of the results. F1 is now just boring…
we love ya martin ! 😊
Senna era um ser humano complexo, o Brasil ama essa lenda !!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wrong. it is Michael Schumacher
22:57
Senna
25:58 Senna and Schumacher
Jim Clark.
I think the professor Allan Prost would be in the conversation as the best driver ever they didn’t call him the professor for nothing . Senna was incredible but highly strung but Prost was composed and calculated and usually calm .
Absolutely agree
Always, and I mean ALWAYS great to hear insight from Martin… a wonderful story teller with still so much enthusiasm for the sport.
Great interview and superb interviewee. I love listening to him. So knowledgeable.
Great F1 representative Martin Brundle.
Totally disagree with this dude, it is not "obvious' Senna "would have won more world championships." Yeah Senna "understood grip" until he spun off and killed himself at Tamburello. Guess who it was behind him who noticed Senna bottoming out there? Michael ""7 world championships" Schumacher. Senna intentionally wrecked into Prost at 130MPH to "win" the world championship for crying out loud. That is not President of Brazil material, sorry.
What do you expect from the Abu Dhabi 2021 narrative broadcaster guy who ignored the F1 rules and helped steal a championship. Tazio Nuvolari is the greatest of all times. Respect for the rest, but it is Tazio.
He rates Max
