Thanks for the video Kym. I went to Bahrain in 2022 and during the fan pit walk on the Thursday evening I saw many drivers leave through the paddock swipe gates to the car park. I didn’t want to pester them but many fans were getting pics/autographs. The tunnel which takes you from the main grandstand to the pit lane comes out right next to the paddock entrance

Thanks for this such great information! Believe it or not Monaco is a great race to attend even if you don’t have tickets😂!! I couldn’t afford but went with friends and stayed in Nice! Still an amazing vacation with great lookout points to see practice and racing. The Exotic Gardens and a public bus ride are ideal for viewing! Also on the Friday it’s open access for all areas to watch support races!! Still go and have a great time. Not to miss - the Prince’s car collection - Whoa, what a treat that was!!

Kym your content is compulsory viewing!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into them. Looking foward to the Lando content on Wednesday.

Spanish Grand prix a few years ago was a nightmare to get home from, I would put it on par with Budapest as the only races I won't return to purely on the terrible transport infrastructure. I have done KL, Singapore & Monaco too, and they were all super easy.

Montreal is my favorite as you can see the cars up close and Montreal is a party town with great atmosphere not to mention the races there are always entertaining .

About Saudi, think you wanted to say we might NOT need a car, believe you said we MIGHT need... but maybe mis-heard... Nice vid, thanks!

Kym, be great to see something on pit crews, unsung performance out of these guys, who, what, how etc…

Waiting for the day the deal with EXCEL London for the docklands track that's been in talks for years actually comes into place lol. Probably would be crazy expensive though.

You should do a segment every race weekend - where you team up with a local hair dresser - with a driver or team member - then do a proper headshot fashion photoshoot. like on a thurs before a race weekend. and the winner at the end of the year gets the best hair award.

I've been to the track in Austin, but not for F1. The views from turn 1 look to be as good as it gets. Sucks it's not closer to the city though. I love Montreal. Getting to the track is easy, but the views could be better. The city is awesome though, so all around pretty good. Only other place I've been is Vegas, but obviously haven't seen the actual track.

Aside from the weather and the traffic, there is nowhere else in the world better than Silverstone!

I've been to 5 tracks and Monza was the best.

Silverstone is where it all began, in the general sense . . . .like the beaches in Daytona. . . Daytona 500 two weekends ago was sold out, race was not that great, but it doesn't matter b/c as they say, this is our Super Bowl (40 cars 200 mph for 3 + hours locking (not allowed, but pushing . . ) bumpers of car in front.) So Silverstone is great no matter what. Come to our 3 F1 USA races; no passport needed (Miami, Texas, Vegas.)

In my Melbourne is the best, it's easy to get into and out of Albert park. The locals are friendly and helpful there are some very nice pubs and restaurants to eat in. As for accommodation, as expected the hotels are expensive over the GP weekend, I found a very nice and reasonably priced Airbnb to stay in and it was only a 20 minute walk from Albert park.

You can also see some of them if you are lucky if you go to the V8 supercars paddock area ( open to everyone). The end of the F1 paddock area backs onto it and is closed off with a big gate. If lucky you can see some there. We met Robert Kubica and Clare Williams there, as the Williams team marquee was next to the gate.

This is great thank you, dream of attending an event one day and this will help choose one! Will any of them receive an F rating???

I find the Australian grand prix one of the worst

F1 introduced a 'price cap' for the teams... BUT when i look at the tour schedule it is ALL OVER THE PLACE and must be more expensive and wasteful to do it like that ? As someone who is on tour with this circus... what are your thoughts. I do realize SOME of it is for weather BUT most does not make sense to me. (Example: Austria to Britain to Hungary to Belgium all in the same month... why not HUNGARY to AUSTRIA to BELGIUM to BRITAIN ?)

Silverstone definitely takes the cake for me.

Barcelona is definitely not an A .....they ran out of water last year and offered alcohol free beer for kids to hydrate....massive ques for the toilets just to fill water bottles at the sink. Huge Ques outside 🤣 hopefully they have sorted out their logistics for this year as they were totally unprepared for last season's race 👍🙂

If you’re looking to save money, buy tickets directly from the track. Go to whatever track you want and sign up for their alerts as to when Tickets become available for the Grand Prix. You get the best deal by buying directly from the track. You need to buy those tickets immediately upon release. They will sell out quickly at most tracks. And all of the good seats will sell out virtually immediately at the more popular tracks. Buying tickets on secondary markets like StubHub or from brokers or middleman is a much more expensive proposition.

No description or reason to your grades you’re giving

Having attended the F1 races at COTA and Miami last to me it is not even close - COTA is far superior to Miami. Parking lot vs F1 track. And COTA tickets are about 1/3 those of Miami prices. Views of the tracks are much better at COTA than Miami because COTA has elevation changes. Miami is as flat as a pancake. But if you are or want to go to Europe, Red Bull Ring is terrific. We attended the Austrian GP in 2022 and loved it. Track and views are beautiful

None on USA. F1 elites are opposed to let our team join F1 and we should not patronize them and continue allowing to put a lot of cash while racing in USA. Equal opportunities.

This video is typical of what is wrong with F1. The main focus is where to see the drivers (isn't the airport the answer to that) and completely missed the point of Formula 1 being a RACING series. What Grand Prix can fans best see and experience racing? The title for the video lead me to believe you might have covered racing :(
