Kym this good about what F1 drivers drove to the Bahrain grand prix and I enjoy the video because talk about F1 drivers as people like everyone else so thank you the new season in 2022.
Never heard of Bestune when I was in Shanghai. Nio is a big one there though. There are just way too many new electric car manufacturs now emerging and brutally competing with each other in recent years in China. Some of the manufacturers do look very serious and promising. But the Bestune is just not a good-looking car.
Bestune was not a new comer though. It's FAW's sub brand and have been around for at least 15 years I'd say. You'd never heard of the B70 which's essentially a Mazda underneath?
Hey Kym, huge fan of your videos and love your enthusiasm for travel , photography . You might have answered this before but do you know if F1 driver has a road driver's license to drive in these many countries ? Or do they just get an international driving permit ? ( I assume this gets taken care of by their manager or someone on the team ) .
They can drive a hire car, just like you and me on holiday, no need for a driving permit. It is possible that a drivers license from some countries may not be accepted, but these drivers all live in Europe and will have a European driving license or will soon have in the case of Zhou. (probably)
That prodrive is a very nice car. They’re a company that have a lot of history and success with Aston Martin in other racing series, and are known to be aerodynamic wizards, they maybe could do with working together 🤔
Oh wow, I thought that was a Rally Fighter on the thumbnail. So it's a version of Seb's BRX from Dakar, what an amazing looking car! 😲 At 1.25M EU, man, it's easier to get Al-Attiyah's Hilux. 😆
On a side note, I would think race car drivers know everything about cars, but I saw one interview where a driver said he had never even changed a tire before, because he didn't have to. They just drive the cars and don't really service them or spend their free time building cars, whether it be the race car or their personal cars. They probably know how it's all done, but they never have to actually do any of it for themselves. Is this true for most drivers, you think?
Pierre driving a Bestune and Zhou driving a Peugeot.
Balanced, as it should be.
Edit: Corrected the spelling for Zhou.
Ugh you have 77 likes. I don’t want to disturb that! Hence commenting a like
u mean zhou?
@@kevj745 eh the translation to English can be j or z, but I think he prefers Z
@@suuuuuuuu124 it is not preference, it is Zhou as a fact and you should respect that
@@kevj745 Sorry, yes. Thanks for the correction.
Two RB drivers drove Merc
Chinese driver drove Peugeot
Honda driver drove Toyota
French driver drove Bestune
Alfa drivers drove Peugeot
Bestune are copy of Peugeot 2008 and 3008 lol

I'm pretty sure that long-time Honda junior driver Yuki Tsunoda driving a Toyota to the track has just caused a civil war in Japan. 😁

Didnt expect courage jd to be over here
Awesome seeing you here
Imagining Horner just getting pissed off looking at merc badges in his car🤣

The G-Wagen is made in Austria, possibly that is the reason why Red Bull uses them. Great video as usual!
Pretty funny how they used their last rival's car though lol
@@nathanaelmalm5641 I can already see Horner say: "Mercedes makes excellent cars, we were just better than that."

True. I feel many of the manufacturers will eventually be pushed out market(which is already happening) and only a handful survive.
I was surprised by the amount of electric cars last time I went back to China, and I think that’s a good thing.
Bestune was not a new comer though. It's FAW's sub brand and have been around for at least 15 years I'd say. You'd never heard of the B70 which's essentially a Mazda underneath?
This is a car that even we Chinese wouldn't buy,extremely poor quality.
@The Soy Hunter Yeah, right now coal is still the major source of electricity. But it's inevitable that the nuclear power will replace coal.
Really enjoyed! Surprised that the Mercedes team was the only group that seemed strategic in their public image of car preference.
Lance still got daddy's car company as he was driving that Aston
Both Alfa drivers where using Stellantis cars aswell :)
No suprise there, merc is all about acting
@@TheJunior3600 another one
I'm glad the in season videos are back! ...all your content is great Kym!
I'll keep the content coming!
My absolute favorite series of yours
glad to hear
That picture of Steffano isn't him, is it? I could swear that's not him!
I missed these videos, thanks for the content Kym
My pleasure
That was awesome. Cheers, Kym! Would have been funny if Hulk showed up riding a bike, like Seb.
Hello 👋 great to see you again glad your doing well and thank you for the best bts shots and info
Missed these videos! Glad there back👍🏻
More to come
0:41 Just something Kym. The cars in that pic are actually Extreme E cars which Loeb also drives, but they're not the Prodrive
Doesn't Prodrive manufacture them all? It is a spec series, after all.
@@rjfaber1991 No it's made by Spark Racing tech, Kym probably got confused because Loeb drives both cars
@@davidferreira1957 Good to know.
Hi Kym! Can you bring back drivers' watches, too! Great video, as usual!
Love seeing you back with the F1 content!!!!
Franz Tost wins for his pure Honda loyalty
Hülkenberg: He gets what he gets as almost everything was gone
Also Hülkenberg: *gets a S Class*
I feel so much better knowing that some of them were driving Honda's and Toyota's
Bruh😂
This is pretty cool 👌
Really looking forward to the content coming this season, feel lucky
6:16 that is not Stefano Domenicali 😅
I really enjoy your videos. It has a very wholesome vibe. Keep pumping out the amazing videos 🙌
Great of Kym to mention the thumbnail car right away and not keep us waiting till the end like most youtubers would!
If I am not wrong our version of the Nissan patrol in the USA is the Armada! They look the same
They are
Liked and subscribed 👍
Love your videos
We do get the Nissan Patrol in the USA however, it's called the Armada in the USA
Yuki & Alex’s parking job! 😅
Hi Kym what did Toto Wolff drive??
Max driving a G Wagon 😳didn't Jos say he won't drive for Mercedes 😂jokes guys don't kill me
that’s no Stafano Doninicali 6:18
The pic of Dominicalli is not him.
Alex wins the best car this week imo
Ah my favourite kym series is back
Glad you like them!
Wohoooooo it's backkkkkkk ✨❤️😭
Yuki after honda leaves F1.
"I'm a Toyota man now"
That wasn’t Stefano Domenicali in the photo when you said his name. He is sitting in the car though.

I love those land cruisers
5:38 That one is being sold in the US as the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80.
That was not the picture of Stefano Domenicalli!
That prodrive is a very nice car. They’re a company that have a lot of history and success with Aston Martin in other racing series, and are known to be aerodynamic wizards, they maybe could do with working together 🤔
They also worked with subaru in the wrc and bar/honda in f1
where did albo learn to drive ? Perfect parking job
6:42 just solidifying Tost as my favourite team prinicpal
Bestune is based on older Mazda cars, i seen it on Wikipedia.
What's up with the RB guys driving Mercs?
Missed seb and his bicycle!
I agree that Alex Albon's car was the best.
Oh wow, I thought that was a Rally Fighter on the thumbnail. So it's a version of Seb's BRX from Dakar, what an amazing looking car! 😲
At 1.25M EU, man, it's easier to get Al-Attiyah's Hilux. 😆
Back to the videos 🥳🥳
Did Latifi crash the Lexus ?
6:17 that aint a pic of domenicali haha
I missed these
I missed making them
2:25 everybody knows the plural of Lexus is Lexi.
Give me some appreciation if you get that reference, folks ;). Back of the net.
the pic you put up while saying Stefano Domenicali is not Stefano Domenicali
Correct.

Well some aren't really car guys at all
Max said he doesn't like driving road cars
I love how max,checo and Christian drove a mercedes😂
Cost cap
franz tost in a honda accord. he nailed it.
Wonder if this kind of increasing exposure will lead to deals from car manufacturers for those drivers who don’t drive for a manufacturer
Damn albon got taste.
The g class is cool to look at and nice for short drives and off-road but terrible for longer drives and highway
Best drivers in the world and most of them can't even park in the box properly.
pretty sure thats not Stefano Domenicali at 6:17 :D :D
Funny how all redbull team were in Mercedes. Love the cars
The LC was a 200, the last one was the new gen 300.
Can you sort it by team like before?
The show that made you wish you came on your bike . Good job Kym
Some pretty dodgy parking in some of these - Great vid though :)
Pretty cool I'd think that they would use a.car service my self also but I guess not.
Anyone know how these cars get chosen for the drivers?
I believe they have a contract with someone sourcing the vehicles for them
6:17 That’s Stafano ? Wow.
We has a Nissan Armada in the US not the Patrol. Same thing pretty much.
the man in the photo is not Stefano Domenicali
I had one of my guys edit this and there were bound to be a couple of hiccups. Thanks for the heads up.
That wasn’t stefano in the picture kym
Correct
As others have stated, the Nissan Patrol is sold in the US under the name Nissan Armada. The engines may be different though.
No its the same 5.6 V8 but very few models in the Middle East have V6 but most of them are V8.
I thought the Bestune was a DS E tense
Hey Kim! Matt bishop was not happy about given a nissan on twitter😂😂😂 in Saudi arabia too😂😂
Not sure if that is Stefano Domenicali.
Hey Kym,
You might of mentioned this in other videos, but do you have a particular model or brand you like? I grew up loving the Chevrolet Corvette!
Hey Kim did u see that painted lambo it was a beautiful car
at 6:17 that's not Stefano Domenicali
Stefano Domenicalli looks a bit different @6:16
Pretty sure that’s not Stefano Domenicali in your video
The Prodrive will probably be legal in South Africa as the best way to navigate the potholes.
This is not Stefano Domenicalli. 🤔
Redbull crew arriving in Mercs 😅👌🏿
Bro I wish i had a life like Kym's it is so fun seeing those races and taking photos of those cars.
6:16 that was definitely not Stefano Domenicali 😅🤷🏾♂️
Toyota Land cruisers! 200 and 300 series! The best SUV ever made.
Max drove in in a Mercedes?? Horner needs to add a clause to his contract 😂
Perez and Horner also drove Mercs ironically
@@Yes-vh7lm haha yea I saw that after I commented 😂
