    This HAS to be one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam. We all know it's impossible to "create" a viral video on purpose, but if someone deserves it, it's for sure you! Keep up the amazing job man, this F1 content is unlike anyone has done in a while, amazing stuff

    Well. As an F1 Fan I really enjoy this “backstage” content. Great interview and i hope you keep this line and bring more content about what goes on in F1 besides the drivers and team principal. Because that’s all we see.
    Next you could bring staff from other departments and even staff from the teams. Like a Mechanic. We don’t really know what it is like being the jack man, or the gun man, marshals, Etc.

I dont know if you edit your own videos but they are very well done and the b roll is thoughtfully laid out. I wish you luck my dude and you earnd your sub, from someone who crates content behind the scenes for other youtube channels i wish there was more people like you who understand story telling and are as effective in conveying it to the viewers.

    Anyways, I also wanted to say that although I also found you from your F1 video (as I think the majority of us did) I would really like to see you continue with other types of videos as well. I think your channel can be a lot broader than just F1 content and I really loved the other types of videos you made. Almost more than the F1 to be honest. They felt more personal and I really love your way of telling a story!
    Keep it up and have a great rest of your week!

    There are 2 things about F1 (Other than the cars and the drivers) that blow my mind:
    1. The logistics (No other sport involves moving tonnes of cargo from one place to another within 2 days. Entire garages are dismantled, transported and setup between sunday and wednesday)
    2. The broadcasting (Other sports usually have one standard angle for live feeds. For example football - side angle, cricket - from behind the bowler... But in motorsports there are so many camera feeds and someone has to pick the right feed at the right time)

    More F1 for sure!! This is such an interesting side of the sport. I’m from Brazil and I’ve been watching F1 since the Senna days in the 80’s. Getting a glimpse through this lens (pun intended) is refreshing and makes me value F1 more than I already do. Also, formula 1 sounds and footage are incredible on their own and have inspired epic cinematographers for a long time. It’d be interesting to see more about the ins and outs of how this happens. I’m thinking about the tie fighter sound in Star Wars and the many dogfighting scenes and cockpit angles. Didn’t George Lucas aspire to be an F1 pilot at some point?
