Brundle reveals Webber’s fantasy – breakfast then ruined for millions.

Brundle reveals Webber’s fantasy – breakfast then ruined for millions.

As Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg battled it out on the Melbourne track, the BBC’s Martin Brundle made viewers choke on their cornflakes, as he revealed that Webber’s pet name for Rosberg was ‘Britney’, in reference to the once hot… but now not so appealing songstress, Britney Spears.

Male viewers swamped the BBC switchboard complaining that while they initially liked the thought of Britney in her schoolgirl uniform, they could not now get the image of Nico in drag out of their mind.

While co-commentator, Jonathan ‘Headmaster Delivery’ Legard was for once speechless, plainly unaware of who Britney Spears was, Brundle vainly tried to shoe in a Britney song title before realising he didn’t know one.

The joke could have worked had it been about the other Nico (Hulkenberg) who will not be asking Kamui Kobayashi to ‘Hit me baby one more time’.
