Kim Kardashian is attending his first Formula One race in Monaco in support of reported boyfriend Lewis Hamilton but has left some fans angry.
Sky Sports F1 reporter Martin Brundle was conducting his usual chaotic gridwalk, chasing down celebrities and drivers for a quick interview just minutes before the race.
The Monaco Grand Prix is seen as the most illustrious race on the calendar, with all the biggest stars making the trip to Monte Carlo to take in one of the most iconic tracks in the sport’s history.
Brundle marched through an army of spectators and finally caught Kardashian’s entourage waiting for the race to begin and tried to get a quick word from the social media superstar.

Brundle said: “What could possibly go wrong?”
“Kim, Martin Brundle, Sky F1, how are you today?” but was met with a completely blank stare.
She gave Brundle a small wave and Brundle told her: “Normally people have a quick chat with us.”
Kardashian, alongside her sister Khloe, was then ushered away as Brundle accepted defeat in getting the interview.
"Kim and Khloe [her sister] aren't talking today," he added. "Allegedly they might do later."
Her actions have not gone down well for F1 fans who believe she disrespected a much-loved figure in Brundle and could have simply declined an interview in a more polite way.
One fan said: “Kim Kardashian blatantly ignoring Martin Brundle, at least say you don’t want an interview instead of being disrespectful.”
Another said: “Ah Kim Kardashian lol. So rude to Martin. Shame.”
A third added: “Kim Kardashian couldn’t give up 20 seconds of her precious time to have a chat with Martin Brundle, terrible viewing. It’s just pure arrogance, he doesn’t ask for much does he? Just a few words about their experience.”
A fourth concluded: "How rude was Kim Kardashian? Brundle there to ask questions and she looks at some dude to see if Brundle was worth talking to. Poor."

Speaking to Brundle on the grid is seen as a right of passage for celebrities in the eyes of many F1 fans.
The 45-year-old is one of the most famous celebrities in the world, boasting over 330 million followers across her social media platforms.
Neither her or Hamilton have publicly commentated on their romance rumours but Mercedes driver George Russell did refer to the social media mogul as 'Hamilton's girlfriend' when she arrived to the circuit.
