It comes up almost every year now. Personally... This feels so easy to fix. Just send someone out in front of Brundle to gauge everyone's interest, or just tell him to back off a bit when he meets legitimate resistance. Why manufacturer drama like this? The sport just doesn't need it in my opinion. He had two opportunities to not do what he did this weekend, but he pressed on.

Sure, it's historical and all. But it just feels a little greasy to essentially force an interview on someone. Who is to say that Brundle can demand someone interview with him? Why are we owed that? I like Brundle and his way of interviewing, but I feel like he needs to be more respectful of those that aren't there to be interviewed. We don't own celebrities and no one is owed an interview simply because a celebrity decided to attend a race.

Thoughts?

Most but not all. I suppose if they've explicitly agreed to be interviewed, it's lame to back out. But why does not interviewing with Brundle equate to not caring? What if they simply don't want to engage in an interview? Impossible to be on the grid then? I feel like we don't need to force that. But that's just my opinion.
