Martin Brundle may be best known as the voice of Formula 1, thanks to an award-winning broadcasting career spanning over two decades, but his accomplishments extend far beyond the commentary box. A former Formula 1 driver and World Sports Car Champion, Martin has also held influential roles as Chairman of the British Racing Drivers' Club and the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. His vast experience on and off the track and his natural storytelling ability make him one of motorsport’s most compelling speakers.

Martin's journey began at the age of 12 when he raced a home-built grass track car, and by 19, he was managing the family’s motor franchise business. Racing remained a constant in his life, and after achieving success in touring cars, he partnered with the legendary Sir Stirling Moss. In 1983, Martin made the pivotal move into single-seater racing, joining Eddie Jordan Racing to compete in the British Formula 3 Championship, where he faced off against the formidable Ayrton Senna. This fierce rivalry led both drivers to graduate to Formula 1 in 1984.

Over his Formula 1 career, Martin raced for teams such as Tyrrell, Brabham, Benetton, Ligier, McLaren, and Jordan, achieving podium finishes and notable successes, including partnering Michael Schumacher at Benetton. Outside of F1, he excelled in sports car racing, claiming the 1988 World Sportscar Championship title for Jaguar and winning prestigious events like the Daytona 24 Hours and Le Mans 24 Hours.

In 1997, Martin transitioned seamlessly into broadcasting, joining ITV alongside Murray Walker. His expertise and charisma made him a fan favourite, and after stints at the BBC, he joined Sky Sports F1 in 2012, where his grid walks and interviews have become iconic.

With six Royal Television Society awards and four BAFTAs, Martin's contributions to motorsport broadcasting are unparalleled. He remains a captivating speaker off the track, drawing from his wealth of experience in racing, business, and broadcasting.
