    It's Not a Complete Race Weekend Without a Kym Illman Video

    The funny cars you mentioned are called Haflinger. They were originally built in Austria for our military and are among the best wheeled offroad vehicles ever built. But for military use they had an awful payload so they were replaced by another great offroad vehicle called Pinzgauer.
    Both of them are well loved in Austria and have a huge fanbase. And I can tell you they are so much fun to drive. So they are still in use within the alpine regions.
    I love to see how F1 used these legendary cars for the drivers parade!

    There are lots of Dutch fans who go there to camp in their tents and caravans. It is very affordable, and it is in the holiday season so they can stay there for a week or two. Beautiful area. Plus some of the fans like that camping atmosphere with loud music and lots of beer.
    This started before the Dutch GP returned, and remained because tickets for the Dutch GP are difficult to obtain, and expensive.
    So you can find entirely orange grandstands. And Max is very successful there, so often there is something to celebrate.

    It was an enjoyable weekend to watch on TV (even though, I usually don't like the sprint format). Lots of exciting stuff on track on each of the three days. It's nice that things have normalized post-COVID. I remember only a couple of years ago in your videos how long you were away from home and family. It must be great to be able to get home and to have family travel with you at times during the season. Really like the videos.

    Such a beautiful track. We loved it last year. Another great video. See you in Silverstone!
    Something else that the Ferrari drivers are provided SF90s to drive around. Not too shabby. The gold Pateks are my pick from the watches of the Paddock.
    Gordon Ramsay is a serious F1 fan. I have my pics of him from Montreal. He did the back to back. Guessing he will do the trifecta and attend Silverstone.

    Dude your F1 content on UA-cam is absolutely unrivalled, i am loving it! Official F1 and sky UA-cam content is just boring as hell, they only exist because there is no other real F1 content on UA-cam as they got the license, normal UA-camrs can't even say F1 without getting flagged lol.. and here is you knocking out quality F1 content way beyond what we could hope for.. Bravo sir.. bravo
    In the very near future the algorithm will deliver you to all the F1 fans and you will explode on UA-cam and that will be a good day!

    These funny looking cars are called "Haflinger" from the company Puch, named after a local horse breed. They still in use by our military (but designed in the late 60s), 4 wheel driven and normaly a crew car for 8 soldiers in the mountains. PS: We had never that space btw.

      @Jrh-rp7np Рік тому

      these are Racers they know from the moment they strap on a helmet they are entering the danger zone .,, and if you wanna be great you have to be so tough they couldn’t castrate you with a chainsaw, I mean look at Zhou crash at Silverstone last year ,,, or Max crash at Silverstone in 2021 which was very hard hit in a older F1 car he may of been very seriously hurt ,, it’s also a very dangerous circuit,, as is Suzuka but any where anytime this could happen… I just think with Spa it probably shouldn’t be raced unless it’s bone dry,, and maybe put safer Barriers in like NASCAR or something idk

    • @doicounttoo6861

      They can only analyse and learn. With "they" I also mean the FIA, by letting them race with zero visibility.
      Is the track dangerous? I don't know. But it took too long for the yellow/red flags to come out, resulting in disaster. And that is who's decision?
