For those of you that didn't know, Martin Brundle was once a Formula 1 driver and has not always been the man we see in front of the TV cameras and the guy behind the microphone as an F1 commentator for the likes of Sky Sports, ITV, and the BBC.

The 1984 Monaco Grand Prix was won by Alain Prost for McLaren and was one of only eight finishers in that race.

19 cars did not finish the 1984 edition of the Monaco GP as seven drivers did not qualify and that includes Mr. Brundle.

Brundle was racing for Tyrrell-Ford in the 1984 season.

The British driver failed to qualify for the Sunday race after suffering from a heavy crash in qualifying the day before.

Brundle admitted to F1 broadcaster Murray Walker that he approached the corner too quickly which left his car upside down.

He also shared with the F1 commentator that he had pains in his neck and his foot after the accident and could not remember how he got back to the garage.
