Martin Brundle's grid walk has become a very popular feature since the former Formula 1 driver debuted it in 1997.
The Briton has interviewed plenty of past and present Formula 1 drivers as well as some key figures from other industries.
The grid walk is known for its off-the-cuff nature and interviews, just minutes before the start of a Grand Prix.
There have been some awkward moments over the years, such as being denied a chance to speak to Jenson Button ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix in 2007.
At the British Grand Prix last weekend, Brundle walked past actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson twice at Silverstone.

The British actor will star in 28 Years Later and has already worked on films such as Bullet Train in his career.
Fans of the actor were quick to point out what had happened, which prompted Brundle to respond too.

Brundle apologised for the incident

Brundle wrote in his weekly wrap-up on Sky Sports: "The grid walk was reasonable fun.

“Apologies to any famous and high-achieving people I rushed past and failed to chat to, I’m afraid I have limited capacity to walk, talk, think, listen and meanwhile check out the faces of hundreds of people to see who they are.
“I had a few hits on the head in my former career, and so I need a new Google search and AI chips inserted because my brain still runs on floppy disks.”
