  • Welcome to my latest video about what the F1 drivers drove to the Saudi Arabian GP - sponsored by Ridge! And note I failed to include Fernando Alonso’s Chevy Tahoe.
    In this video, I will be taking you behind the scenes into the 2023 F1 drivers carpark and giving you an exclusive look at the F1 driver's road cars at the Jeddah Corniche F1 circuit.
    While some F1 drivers opted for practical SUVs and 4 wheel drivers, others drove practical hatchbacks to the track. However, the nicest cars this weekend were driven by Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. But can you guess which F1 driver decided to ditch their vehicle and walk to the track instead?

      This new model of the Taurus isn’t actually a Taurus it’s a Mondeo rebadged into a Taurus, also they are made in China by Changan. This came when Ford bought a car manufacture there and had to partner up with a Chinese company to make their cars there.

    Kym, a couple of random questions... I stumbled upon the media guide from last year's Japanese GP and noticed them referring to "Red Zones" around the track were "press activity" is not allowed. I'm not sure about how F1 nomenclature works. Does "press" in this case refer to journalists or does it apply to photographers too? Given that the media center is divided into "press" and "photo" areas I wasn't sure if that distinction is applied to these "Red Zones" too. Also, any plans to do the Indycar GP at IMS again this year while here for Miami?

The teams hired private security firms and security guards to both arrange and drive the drivers in in large SUVs as opposed to them being able to drive in themselves to these tracks.
