Attacks on sartorial elegance are not overly frequent in a sport as glamorous as F1 but Sky Sports pundit Karun Chandhok saw fit to mock presenter Simon Lazenby’s shirt choice on the grid before the Singapore Grand Prix.
Lazenby sported a eye-popping shirt with a very noticeable pattern and colours which stood out as he lined up alongside his colleagues at the Marina Bay circuit.
Chandhok's comments on the TV broadcast during the weekend came after pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz donned a new shirt of his own bought when filming with Alex Albon.
Kravitz's special segment with the Williams driver saw him wind up purchasing a flashy new shirt as he got a look at the F1 superstars life away from the track.
Briefly after the feature aired, Chandhok decided to mock colleague Lazenby’s wardrobe choice live on air, leaving him speechless.
“Did Ted [Kravitz] buy you that shirt at the market?” Chandhok questioned.
“Haha yeah. Very good, very good. This is thin. You can have a go on this later, I’m lost for words after that, well done.” Lazenby replied.
The anchor’s shirt certainly stood out amongst the crowd, as seen during the live Sky Sports broadcast, as they discussed Liam Lawson’s performances to date.
High praise from Martin and Karun for Liam Lawson 👏
