    In Bahrain, in 2019 GP, we were able to see all the drivers for a limited time since there was an autograph sign event for all fans. We saw everyone but each driver and team had limited time allotted especially Lewis and Seb! We were able to get photos and autographs with many of them (including Kimi). Plus there is always a chance to see them in pit walk, we saw lance in the car!

    I have been enjoying your channel since I found it last year and enjoyed your inside view. Just finished watching this episode and just thought I would mention another way. Join a car club that has a car racing in the series. I am an Alfisti and the Alfa Romeo Owners Club -USA has organized annual trips to Austin for the GP. As a member of the group, we have access to the paddock on the open days and several receptions where one gets to meet the VIPs and the drivers. We also have had access to special hospitality areas which are exclusive to the Alfa group.

    During F1 live- London- the drivers and bosses were all stationed at the Corinitha Hotel. The road of the hotel was closed for all the public unless you had F1 credentials or a meeting at the department for International Trade (same street) I took the logo for DOIT and emailed myself a fake appointment. Got into the ‘pit lane’ left my bag at reception of the hotel, met lots of drivers & Ross Brawn. I then walked into the main area with Ross, Johnny Herbert etc. Managed to last about 4 mins before I got kicked out of there. Great experience!

    As an American, it’s so weird for me to think how hard it is to meet F1 drivers. I’ve met countless NASCAR & IndyCar drivers at meet and greets and in the garage/paddock areas. Paddock access at the Mid-Ohio IndyCar race was free (as Honda had a promo going on for Honda owners) and I met Romain Grosjean & Marcus Ericsson, in addition to Simon Pagenaud, Graham Rahal, Takuma Sato, Jimmie Johnson, Conor Daly, and others. Indianapolis is actually quite the easiest track to meet a driver - just walk under the track and to the media center or garage, access to open to all with a grandstand ticket!

    Hi everyone, going to the Istanbul grand prix. Hoping to wait outside the hotels to maybe catch a glimpse/photo of the drivers. Does anyone know which hotels the drivers stayed in last year in Istanbul or where they are going to be staying this year. Any help would be super great, I reaalllllllly want to see the drivers :))
    Thanks

    Forget about meeting drivers for a second... how can we meet you?! Are coming to Saudi Arabia?
    For Saudi Arabian track, I think it will be extremly hard to meet drivers at gates, because police will be all over the place organizing crowds. Plus I see not room for green carpet or so.
    The track is taking place at the waterfront where it is always packed even with no events (except 12-2 noon due to heat).
    Dirvers will only use cars to get in and out of track. due to heat and infrastructure of the Jeddah.
    Not to forget that we have paddock club that costs $7K with Covid restrictions.
    Lastly, drivers will get vip company from the moment the enter the airport till they leave, and they will be using vip lounges/ routes to be separated from people (like any other event we had).
    I hope I am wrong and meet some drivers and cool people.
    If anyone here can help me get a invitation, I would be thankful.

      @@KymIllman I really hope that you enjoy the visit. Also, do not use the airport taxi or any taxi in general due to price. Use Uber or Careem apps. If you can drive under some pressure, rent a car (not from the airport unless it is a really good deal). Or maybe I can pick you up if you would like to.

    what would you say is the best way to meet a driver at Silverstone? the inner track pass or paddock club?

    • @mikemackay82
      @mikemackay82 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Inner track pass more likely to see current drivers as they enter. Paddock club (in my experience (2018)) saw non-current drivers (Nico Rosberg, Mark Webber etc.) wandering in-between TV duties.

    Do F1 drivers have a history of romancing women at all these races? Is/was it a "different gal in every city" type situation or is that behavior discouraged by the teams? Some of the guys are family men but most are young and single, so there are probably ladies looking to meet them up close & real personal. Tell us the dirt, Kym!
