Fans get upset because a grid walk is the ultimate privilege for a fan and many believe it should be reserved for those who actually would appreciate it or at least have a basic understanding of the sport. Ignoring Brundle is almost a litmus test for whether they should or shouldn't be there.

Money and connections are the only thing that reserve you any rights to a grid walk - nothing else. Sad but true, and any fan would know this by now - the sport has changed and is changing. Not much in F1 comes without one of those two things these days. Monaco takes it to another level.

Public opinion and people with money or celebrity aren't mutually exclusive.

F1 is a TV sport. If you're watching one corner from the side of the track you're doing it wrong.

A lot of grand stands have TV screens opposite, so you can follow there too lol

You spelt procession wrong.

Every commentator yesterday said something along the lines of ' you can't pass on this track'.

Then wtf are y'all doing here, it's not a race, just a parade of fast cars.

Out of the last 22 runnings of the event, the polesitter has won 16 times.

Q3 is the race, win that, they should just give you the trophy.

Lewis Hamilton has quietly returned to Carbon Industries brake discs on his Ferrari, a supplier he trusted from his Mercedes years. Charles Leclerc, who has publicly struggled with brake feel, may trial the same discs in the coming races as Ferrari looks to balance historical partnerships with driver preference.

I hope the donkeys listens to their drivers.

A bit more complicated as the story goes Hamilton prefers Brembo for the Calipers, Carbon Industries for the discs and pads, a hybrid between the two, rather than one specific company for full assembly.

I think it's more about what he could change vs what had to stay considering their forever partnership with Brembo.
 
Watching it yesterday, Aryton Senna must be spinning in his grave

Celebrities are there as show ponies, not fans. She doesn't have to speak to him and she was not the first to say no.

He gets the cold shoulder several times on his walk, at all F1 races.
