He may not race under the British flag, but there's already a fourth British driver! Alex!

Was at the race all weekend myself. So good to hear positive things about the British! What a RACE!

Some would say 4 drivers with Alex Albon born in the UK put picking his parents country. 🤔

Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth, and her sister Princess Margaret attended the first race with their father along with Queen Elizabeth, later The Queen Mother, that day. Prince Charles was a regular for many years. Princess Diana presented the winners trophy in 1994 and both of her sons have been to races at Silverstone...

I spotted you at Turn 1 Kym! I was in The View grandstand :)

Great video Kym, I was there as always. What a weekend! One thing though, you said the front man of Jamiroquai was John Kay, his name is Jay Kay. 😉 I'll let you off haha. Glad you were able to snap a pic of him, we saw him on the big screen playing air guitar to We Will Rock You.

Video suggestion: do a video assigning superlatives to all the races on the calendar. Silverstone is the biggest race, Monaco is the jewel in the crown, some are probably the weirdest, most boring, most difficult, most profitable, etc. based on the track design and location, not because of the current drivers competition.

9:16 @KymIllman you have described my experience to the tee. Nice to see you trackside at luffield (I was the fire marshal who asked you how your weekend was going)

"the British know how to do motorsport", that is correct sir! 😊

Well done, monster of a vid to get together, so much going on

Being an Australian I have had one opertunity in life to go to a Grand Prix ...so I chose the British. I attended Silverstone in 1983 and its just the best circuit for testing F1 cars and drivers...still have fond memories of that place.

Great content as always. A joy to see your coverage of the "backstage" during race weekends.

Me and a couple of friends went, we took my campervan and stayed on the Cartmel Fields site. I can honestly say this event was absolutely superb, bar the rain and food prices hands-down best event I've been to, trumps Latitude, Glasto, V Fest ect

Awesome post keep up the good work … I can’t believe there r people still complaining about celebrities. They probably don’t understand the business of Motorsport. Investments, ROI, sponsorship, celebrities. You see it in tennis, American Football 🏈, NBA… It’s all part of the spectacle. As long as they help support their brand, be kind to the fans, it’s all good 👍

Another great video Kym. Silverstone is by far, the greatest race on the calendar

Great video Kym!

What an epic weekend 🔥🔥 wil be at the Singapore F1 hope to meet you.

Kym, first, your voice has the most soothing tone. I can watch your videos just to hear you speak. Second, Im neutral on celebrities as long they speak to Martin Brundle. If they won’t speak with him they should be ejected like the cow in Monty Pythons Holy Grail scene.

Its Jason Kay mate, top guy, even when the cameras are off he'll make time for you.

Because a number of VIPs dont know the first thing about F1, how about F1 do a lottery at every race for a number of related purchased tickets to win VIP for race day? Not sure if they do this already but if not can you suggest it to the powers that be the next time you shmoosing? Great content as usual, not mentioned soccer/ football this time!

Silverstone and Suzuka are special! And Spa

4:21 Richard Hammond's daughter Izzy behind him.

I cannot share all of your positive vibes. I found logistics bad, the services bad and the parking muddy. Also the total public room (not for you celebreties) was not much giving shelter from the rain, and was unbelievable dirty and muddy. I thought it was a shame for such a famous race, which was also far too expensive.

Kym's keeping up with the Mighty Freo Dockers on Kayo 😁

Yeah, most of us British people also include Alex. He may race under a Thailand flag but he is British. So next year there will be 5 out of 20. 25% of the drivers are British. 💪🏻

You have to go by what flag they race under, that’s the law

George VI, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret went to the first-ever Formula One race, which was held at the Silverstone Circuit in 1950. Prince Harry has been several times since he was a child and Princess Diana took him.

If Monaco is the Jewel in the crown of F1 Silverstone might just be the gold in the crown.

Just forgetting 2 big youtubers in the UK and inviter by fiais boss.... Nico Leonard and Mat Armstrong

Silverstone is a RACER / SPECTATOR circuit. What I love about Silverstone is that it also has true legacy in regards to F1. To me, it is the only flat track that gives good racing. Another thing I love about Silverstone is that the "celebrity" angle is not an issue unlike the Monaco / Miami / Vegas / Austin and a few others that rely heavily on the "artificial tinsel" folk. It is motor racing and only motor racing that is the STAR of the show. A true circuit, for true fans with true drivers. What spoils other circuits is all the artificial adendums that are the draw cards .... sucks. Lets get back to motor racing .... leave the glitter and superficial at home, lets keep it real and have passion back, on and off the track.

I don’t know much about the Royals but it seems they prioritise the more “posh” Wimbledon.

Spa f1s best race

I live not to far from silverstone , every 5 mins there was a helicopter going over

I won't be paying to go to Silverstone again next year for the first time in a long time. Silverstone doesn't care about the fans anymore. Completely lost there way for all the reasons you mention and more. I genuinely think they will struggle more than this year to sell tickets for 2025. Hoping to go elsewhere for a different race.

Hi Kymillman need to ask your sons to setup you up a discord server so us community can chat together all about F1

Poor Martin Brundle for Sky Sports now has to drag himself from celebrity to celebrity on the pre-race grid instead of doing the iconic car-to-car grid walk. How humiliating. A couple races back he said while pushing through to the next celeb, "I might not have a job after today, but I've had a good career". I don't give a hang about celebs on the grid. Actually, I detest them. They just get in the way of my seeing the cars being prepared for the Formation Lap and race. They also give the hint, "We' re in a big club and you ain't in it". Screw them.
