Ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, Kim Kardashian arranged through her representatives for an interview with Martin Brundle on Sky Sports, having faced widespread mockery after she blanked him on the Monaco grid in June. She is said to have stood waiting on the red carpet at 7.15pm local time to make sure she did not miss the veteran broadcaster. She opened by asking him 'did we get off on the wrong foot?' and went on to describe Formula 1 as 'amazing and fun and wild'.

Kardashian is said to be keen to make a 'good impression' with F1 fans as her bond with Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton continues to deepen.

The Monaco incident spread rapidly online after Brundle approached Hamilton's entourage and was given the cold shoulder, drawing a fierce social media backlash.

Hamilton was said to be 'in great form', with Kardashian turning out in a figure-hugging floral dress at the Singapore race to support him.
