British comedian Michael McIntyre put Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle on the spot as he asked the former racer to choose between Max Verstappen and George Russell amid their ongoing feud.
On Sunday afternoon, Brundle did his last grid walk of the 2024 season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
During the much-anticipated segment on Sky Sports, Brundle was put on the spot as he spoke to comedian McIntyre.
The 48-year-old spoke about the ongoing feud between Verstappen and Russell, he said: "I'm sort of a guest of Mercedes and Red Bull which is a criminal offence isn't it?! I think I'm here to broker peace between Verstappen and George Russell. I'm loving it though!"

The Red Bull and Mercedes drivers are currently not the best of friends after the controversial penalty at the Qatar Grand Prix, with Verstappen stating he had 'lost all respect' for Russell after the role the Brit played in a penalty handed to the Dutchman.
Ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen slammed Russell again, calling him a 'loser' in yet another explosive interview.
Russell himself has also had his own say, with the 26-year-old branding Verstappen as a 'bully'.
McIntyre then asked Brundle whether he's on Team Russell or Team Verstappen, to which the Sky Sports pundit replied: "I'm on nobody's team cause we love them all."

Brundle's response was met with laughter from McIntyre.
During the interview, McIntyre added: "It's a dream come true - I'm basically here for you, I've been looking for you all weekend!
"My plan was to ignore you because all the coolest people do and I've just come over and hugged you and so it's all backfired!"

Speaking about the feud, Verstappen himself said it will sort itself out.
He said: "It will be fine. We have our disagreements now.
"I think it's important we all go on holiday now and spend some time with family and friends. We just go at it again next year. It will sort itself out."
