Martin Brundle had to be forceful with the footballer Kylian Mbappé on the grid in Monaco. The former F1 driver and now Sky Sports pundit had to speak to the security around Mbappé and say, "I'm in charge around here."

Monaco grid full of celebrities

Many celebrities have been spotted in Monaco this weekend, including South Africa Rugby World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi, actor Anya Taylor-Joy and footballer Diogo Dalot. Dalot, who plays for Manchester United, won the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday. 

Dalot spoke to Brundle and explained that the Monaco Grand Prix was the perfect venue to celebrate the FA Cup victory. Brundle then bumped into another celebrity. Brundle was initially pushed away, but the commentator stayed firm and forced some words out of the Football World Cup winner. 

Mbappé initially said "I'm just here for the race" when he was asked if he was up for a word. "I'm not faster than the cars. I just want to be here like a fan and enjoy the moment," Mbappé added.
