The facts on the bottom are a cool idea, BUT - I agree with another commenter that they’re distracting when they have nothing to do with the topic / venue / people you’re talking about. Likewise - when displayed in rapid succession, it really takes my attention away from your beautiful photography and candid voiceovers - which are two things I love about your channel. Would hate to see your amazing work cheapened unnecessarily. To be clear I am a huge fan of your channel, so offering this feedback out of nothing but love! Keep up the great work 👍
Mariana Becker is more than a presenter. Mariana's partner Jayme Brito owns a TV production co. that does the outsourced transmission of F1 to Brazil since the Globo TV days. They live in Monaco.
If someone had told me, when I was younger, that I could get the education, and then go on to possibly be employed by Formula 1, I'd have stayed in school! I'm a 60 yr old woman, who loves Formula 1, and definitely would have loved to have employment in the field!
Thought I would mention that Lewis Hamilton's pal Angela Cullen appeared during the Indycar race in Alabama yesterday. Apparently she is working with Marcus Armstrong, another Kiwi in his second year in Indycar.
I am a great admirer of your photos and videos. I appreciate how informed you are and that in turn you educate us, the F1 fans. I am however disappointed as to how you sometimes refer to the women you speak about. Mentioning that they are mothers of however many children is absolutely not relevant and something you never say about the men, because let's be honest, nobody cares either way.
Hello @@KymIllman Can u please put the facts at the end coz it splits the attention in the video. Many times have to go back and see either the fact or the video.
I was watching an old race, 2015 australia maybe, and they were discussing the possibility of Susie Wolff filling in next week for Williams 😂 i had forgotten all about that
To get to know women in Formula 1 one can listen to Aurélie Donzelot podcast Racing Lives. Aurélie was Head of Digital Media for Alpine. In her podcast she is talking to women in Formula 1 in general.
"so what does an F1 strategist do?" Last time that question was asked in a UA-cam video, the comment section exploded in red. But things seem to be going better these days...
1st picture I captured of Susie Wolff was during a practice session in a Williams at Silverstone unfortunately she didn’t finish the session as she came off the track Club corner
I really enjoy your videos, Kym; they offer unparalleled insight into behind-the-scenes aspects of F1. If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, the random factoid pop-ups you've recently begun displaying are distracting and often do not contribute to the storytelling. For example, in this video you didn't mention the British GP, Ferrari, or Rubens, yet a factoid linking them was shown at 5:00. These random F1 facts don't fit the style of your videos, and I hope you'll abandon them.
The random facts that have nothing to do with the video are very distracting. Your voiceover and the images are engaging enough but if you HAVE to...at least have them be related to the topic at hand.
Unfortunately nepotism still come to mind with Susie but there’s points to made for and against her appointment (biggest being her connection with Mercedes)
OK you sparked my interest: Which F1 driver won a GP that his country's national anthem was an issue with a certain dignitary ...One of these have to be the winner of that GP ( I stopped at 2006 GPs ) Max Verstappen Lewis Hamilton/George Russell Sergio Perez Fernando Alonso/ Carlos Sainz Charles Leclerc Valtteri Bottas/ Kimi Raikkonen Daniel Ricciardo Esteban Ocon/ Pierre Gasly Sebastian Vettel / Michael Schumacher Pastor Maldonado Rubens Barrichello/ Felipe Massa Robert Kubica My gut is telling me it is PASTOR MALDONADO from VENEZUELA Who can guess this person Kym refers to?
Hard working important humans are admirable and we are all grateful for their existence in f1 and in life. But frankly if f1 was about talent and hard work mezapen sinoda zhyun lance stroll riccardo wouldnt be here. But c est la vie. Sure mezapen is gone but that was because of the sanction excuse
The info ribbons at the bottom of the screen are so annoying especially when they have absolutely nothing to do with the topics he is speaking about. Please stop this Kym.
@@soundscape26 I'm more trying to point out that why should we focus on a particular group of people, again, that is just divisive. Promote ALL people and what they have done, rather than single out any particular group and try to make them sound good for what they have done.
@@soundscape26 Nothing of importance? Let's break down the core of what F1 is all about . . . testosterone. Since the first race took place in 1950, it was always about prowess, and still is. Everything that happens behind the scenes has EVERYTHING to do with what happens on the circuit. And since the grid girls were on the circuit just like the cars they were great to look at.
Thanks for highlighting the strong women in f1. As a father of 2 sons and a son with 2 sisters I think is it great that you are giving women the spot light
"I'm going to introduce you to very important women that you probably don't know" - and all Brazilians goes like "How can somebody don't know Mariana Becker"?
I think the correct question to ask is whether Susie Wolf would have gotten anywhere if she wasn't married to Toto. She wouldn't have driven for Williams, that's for sure. Her rise in F1 is artificial
all of these women are obviously worth more than their looks, but I must say, not a single one of the women working in formula one is below a 7. All stunners.
I have a great idea, no woman involved with men’s sport and no men involved in woman’s sport, have you noticed how woman don’t start at the bottom learning the ground work just go straight in to important or management jobs. I’m sure an ex driver would have better judgment, I saw an interview where a female driver wanted the cars drastically altered so woman can complete as at the moment it’s to hard for them, time then to switch off.
When the ladies got the skills the men do like Bernie they are there…this is all ticking the boxes shit…All to please the one Mixed race guy on the grid but yet they got rid of the grid girls who represented their country and culture at every race 👍🍻
They could make their own organisation Competitive Ladies of Inclusion and Tolerance to Organise Regulations In (auto) Sports Me draw back the abbreviation is CLITORIS…
I'm not sure Susie Wolff is a great example here. A fairly mediocre race driver with no wins and who seems to have got the Williams drive through her husband. Subsequently all of her endeavours seem to have come about through Toto and his money. She isn't a great advertisement for women in motorsport unlike the others.
@@maricz4 I am suggesting she didn’t get that position on merit. Look at the timeline; she was a rubbish driver with a highest placing of about 10th. In 2011 she married Toto and then out of nowhere she is development driver for Williams, a Mercedes customer. Every notable thing she has done has been since marrying Toto.

Barrichello's first victory (not only for Ferrari, but his first victory overall) was in 2000 German GP.
Right. I was in the grandstand, and nearly everyone was so happy for Rubens.

if you don't mind me asking but who is your favourite driver/team ?

Fantastic video Kym. Won't long before you're hosting an interview photoshot with these women of power in motorsport.
You are providing top notch content Kym thank you
Big brain Hanna is my hero. She has in no small way contributed to all those red bull championships. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏼
I WISH you will do another "watches of the paddock"
I LOVE the watches bit!!
Heya Kym
I drove through Lancelin today. I waved but I'm not sure if you saw me 🤔
Love the vids. Plenty of variety.
Safe travels to Miami ✈️
Barrichello won the 2000 German GP, for Ferrari
Interesting as always, Kym. Thanks for inviting me round 🌞
This was great, thank you! Keep those facts coming, sir. You tell/show us (your fans/subscribers) things other F1 vloggers don't, so thank you!
Excellent content, great to highlight such talent at the highest levels
Charging $85 for a bucket hat, cmon Kym...
I miss Claire Williams being around, and also the former Ferrari media person Stefania Bocchi as she was the smiling side of Kimi ;)

Cool to learn about what people behind the scenes do .thanks Kym
Great film Kym, the comments which appear at the bottom take but a second to read and are interesting!
Great video Kym interesting facts about those in the background of F1
Thanks my friend.. watching the video now!!!
Glad to hear!
@@KymIllmanWhat name Aston Martin girl from intro?
love the vids!!! Keep up the good work Kym!!!
I’ll keep making them if you keep watching them!
@@KymIllman i will!!!!

i wonder if cap guy even bothers to have an alpine cap in his bag?
The random facts that have nothing to do with the video are very distracting. Your voiceover and the images are engaging enough but if you HAVE to...at least have them be related to the topic at hand.
One person I was surprised wasn’t on your list is Sacha Woodward Hill.
I personally like the facts at the bottom
Loving the random facts Kym🫡
Unfortunately nepotism still come to mind with Susie but there’s points to made for and against her appointment (biggest being her connection with Mercedes)
So now we know who Kym is watching at all these races.
In some recent F1 GPs I also saw another woman who usually takes the drivers’ weight and she return them a ticket.
Do you know her name?
Are there any female photogs in F1?
No permanents. A couple do a handful of races each year.
It’s way too demanding for a woman. And that’s ok.
Not sold on the lower third addtion its distracting,
thank you for this episode! great ladies
Still waiting for grid girls to come back.
Now do one for men
Just about video I do is about men. Men do well on my channel.
@@KymIllmanIt’s about the best person for the job, not gender or race.
Does anyone know which leader objected to being on the podium when another country's national anthem played?
Love Mara's tight white jeans.
I must have asked myself a dozen or more times who Linda was. Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy Miami.
No worries!
@@KymIllman you did me a solid one. Thx
Power woman, poking her tongue out like a child
Just be what you girl do best at F1 - GRID GIRLS Only!!! Perhaps make me a coffee in that outfit too.. hubba hubba..
Mariana Becker is the best!
Mara
Great video Kym 💪🏽💪🏽
Glad you liked it!!
the trivias at the bottom are pretty random and distracting tbh
Mariana Becker!
OK you sparked my interest: Which F1 driver won a GP that his country's national anthem was an issue with a certain dignitary ...One of these have to be the winner of that GP ( I stopped at 2006 GPs )
Max Verstappen
Lewis Hamilton/George Russell
Sergio Perez
Fernando Alonso/ Carlos Sainz
Charles Leclerc
Valtteri Bottas/ Kimi Raikkonen
Daniel Ricciardo
Esteban Ocon/ Pierre Gasly
Sebastian Vettel / Michael Schumacher
Pastor Maldonado
Rubens Barrichello/ Felipe Massa
Robert Kubica
My gut is telling me it is PASTOR MALDONADO from VENEZUELA
Who can guess this person Kym refers to?
My other choice is JUAN PABLO MONTOYA from COLOMBIA
Where is Luna Christofi... :-)

Making sure the correct national anthem is played on the podium... well, I can think of more difficult jobs these days!
Not even an honorable mention for Andrea Schlager?
without women there's no formula 1
I think it'd be alright.
The info ribbons at the bottom of the screen are so annoying especially when they have absolutely nothing to do with the topics he is speaking about. Please stop this Kym.
I hope you plan to do a video on all the MEN that actually CREATED and CONTINUE TO RUN F1 for the entire time it has been going?
It's almost everybody else, so what would be the point of that?
