Given your coming to Montreal next I thought I would ask as he was a famous mixed blood First Nations who was a key player in our Canadian history. Just a fun fact.
I love how you don't just take pictures of the cars as they race but also of the area and the fashion. You also tell the stories behind the drivers and the race that help those of us who don't follow F1 racing to appreciate their skill as well as yours. Love it!
My late husband introduced me to racing in Toronto and I was hooked. We always wanted to attend Monaco. Alas. Love your work btw. Suggestion, I would add a map of the course as you explain the turns and the shots you take at the turns, where you set up etc. What a fabulous job and life. Thank you for sharing the adventures.
Congratulations on your 100th video! The shots are amazing. Such extraordinary passion comes through in the technique and storytelling of your art. Truly remarkable
Congratulations Mr. Michael Potts! Your photography is beautiful…it’s so crisp and the colors are so vivid…All the best! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
It was the first time since Ayrton Senna's wins that I was moved to tears about a win in F1! So glad for Leclerc and the monegasques! Thank you for your video, Michael, I actually missed them!😊
I usually watch the Monaco boat show. It’s fun to see the arrival by folks by boat not for the show! ❤ It so cool to see a hometown man winning his principality’s race!
Michael I have never looked so intimately at any photographs before. These shots are beautiful. Congratulations on your dream coming true. Have a wonderful prime season. Also thanks for showing the chapel shots I had forgotten what an awful state she was in. Grand huh.
My daughter loves LeClerc and it was one of the first races that I have seen from start to finish! I love all of your shots and learned quite a bit from this video! So cool that you get to photograph things that you love
Well done Michael. Wonderful photos and commentary. You are very exciting listen to and I hear the excitement and happiness in your voice and tone. A joy to listen to, it’s almost like being there in person. ❤❤❤ Love seeing you back at LaLande and your pleasure at how wonderful the chapel is looking to date. Please and safe travels to you Michael. ❤❤❤
Your shots are amazing. Yes, it was a snoozefest, but to see Charles Leclerc, the son of a plumber, not a millionaire win his home grand prix was absolutely wonderful. The chapel at Lalande is looking superb 😊
It's such a good story seeing him win. I can't tell you how happy it made me seeing the renovations. You really have no idea how these are going to turn out and have to trust strangers that they will restore it to it's glory.
One is swept up in your enthusiasm of the Monaco race and atmosphere that you capture in your photos. So cool a Monegasque won the race 🏎️ Congratz on 💯th video 🍾
Awesome photos Michael. Monaco is so lovely and unlike any city in Europe. I haven’t been there in forty years so I loved seeing parts of the city. Stay safe out there.
Great photography as usual, Michael! I love your videos and look forward to them after each race. I was absolutely thrilled for Charles and also devastated for Checo!
Well the race might have been a bit boring but these shots sure are not! Stunning - all ! For my fav I have to go with timestamp 8:02. Yachts and race cars in the same shot - yes please. Your narration made me feel like I was there - almost - well not really that good but still very passionate and appreciated. 🇲🇨
Really enjoyed that! I'm not a F1 afficionado by any stretch, but you make it so interesting and educational. I can appreciate the effort it takes to drive and win the race, as well as the effort to make such good videos. Thank you!
😍Great narration to your stunning photos!!🏎️ ELATED for Charles Leclerc!🥂🍾 The only Formula 1 race I’ve seen live, was in Monaco in the late 70’s during my first trip to Europe.💖 I was near the tunnel which really emphasized just how fast they were going as the cars were visible for only a split second!!😲 In my home town of Portland Oregon our speedway held the CART races. ⭐️⭐️Most memorable for me in 1989 because the legendary Emerson Fittipaldi won and I got to meet him and have my picture taken with him!!🤩 (My ticket let me into the area where they loaded up their cars & gear😉)
Besides being an exceptional photographer, you are an incredible writer. Thanks for sharing this view of Monaco and of the hometown boy who made big. Good job and safe travels. 😊
Congratulations on 100 videos Michael. Monaco is a very photogenic race however it is nearly always a snoozefest. This year was only worth it to see the emotional reaction of LeClerc and the Royal family as Charles is not a rich migrant but a true local reaching the top of such a demanding sport.
The photo's are amazing Mr Potts you certainly lead a colourful life world traveller to chateau life nice to see you back at La Lande.take care and see you next time 💕🌼🤗
Fabulous reporting, I was there once driving through Monaco and they were putting up and setting up for an upcoming race in 1998, so , even then I could feel the thrill of this racing mecca. Bravo to you, Michael. Please do more specials, about anything! You have a gift. Loving France, even from here at Lake Tahoe , CA, USA
A few moments of sound! 👂🏻🏎️ 🙉😍😆 Not sure how possible that is equipment wise, and totally get this is more of an eye candy then ear candy channel… but hearing the cars rounding a bend, the crowds cheering during the race and at the finish, even when the famous folk walk by would be cool and interesting to hear. Thanks and congrats! 🎉💯
Well narrated, Mr. Potts! And how exciting it must’ve been for Leclerc to win this Formula One! They must’ve partied for days! Well, I do hope you enjoy Montreal as you’ll be coming to our home country. 🇨🇦Hope they take good care of you there! Safe travels
I thoroughly enjoyed your 'take' on this race ... almost convinced me that it is worth watching on a Sunday ... but, it was worth all the boredom just to see Charles win ... a magical moment x
Ah, Monaco! Whilst not the most exciting race I think the emotion from Charles over the radio at the end will stick with me for a long time to come! My favourite shot was the side on Redbull at the (I think) Nouvelle Chicane. Just seeing how tight they are to the ground in this era never ceases to astound and impress!! Congrats on your 100th video! And here's to Montreal - and the rain in the forecast!😆
Great photographs Michael Potts I was at the F1 GP Monaco on the Saturday in the Rascasse Stand great views of the Pitts , my 2nd GP there , just love the vibe of Monaco GP thank you great video .
Incredible captures, Michael! And you told a great story along with them that made it all palpable. I felt sad that Charles's Dad wasn't there to celebrate in person with his son. He would have been looking on from afar, I'm sure. Lotsa love, Jacqueline from New Zealand
Thank you for another great vlog and it was wonderful that LeClerc broke the Monaco curse. Can't wait till you come to my neck of the woods next. Welcome back to Canada Micheal
Great shots through the barrier Michael. I hadn't seen the crash footage from that angle. Finally like one of Lewis' fashion choices. The race wasn't very exciting but it was a great win for Charles. 🙂🇨🇦
Hey Michael! It is an iconic venue! But really not great for a race. It’s certainly only for the rich. I love Monaco as been there outside of the GP. Although some great drives from others. The race itself was not very good to watch on TV where most money is made. Without a doubt CL winning is what everyone wanted. He jumped out of the car and everyone wanted it. He could go home and have mum cook him dinner🤣
Charles Leclerc🌟🌟🌟🌟🌗 is always simply the best🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆, much better🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖 than all the rest. ``Forza💪, Charles⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, forza,💪 La Scuderia Ferrari🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 a Maranello``❤
Well narrated, Mr. Potts! And how exciting it must’ve been for Leclerc to win this Formula One! They must’ve partied for days! Well, I do hope you enjoy Montreal as you’ll be coming to our home country. 🇨🇦Hope they take good care of you there! Safe travels
What a life you lead Michael from famous races to chateau’s, world traveller. Very blessed. Great photography so impressive.
Are you related to Jerry Potts? A Canadian historic person.
Not that I know of. But there are not many of us
Given your coming to Montreal next I thought I would ask as he was a famous mixed blood First Nations who was a key player in our Canadian history. Just a fun fact.
I love how you don't just take pictures of the cars as they race but also of the area and the fashion. You also tell the stories behind the drivers and the race that help those of us who don't follow F1 racing to appreciate their skill as well as yours. Love it!
Thank you so much. That means so much!!
Just saw you in the Chapel of LaLande.
I was blown away by the changes
My late husband introduced me to racing in Toronto and I was hooked. We always wanted to attend Monaco. Alas. Love your work btw. Suggestion, I would add a map of the course as you explain the turns and the shots you take at the turns, where you set up etc. What a fabulous job and life. Thank you for sharing the adventures.
That is a very very good idea
Love that I get a bit of fashion in this video!
Really cool someone from Monaco won! Good for him for breaking a curse
Me too!!
Congratulations on your 100th video! The shots are amazing. Such extraordinary passion comes through in the technique and storytelling of your art. Truly remarkable
Thank you so much!
Congratulations Mr. Michael Potts! Your photography is beautiful…it’s so crisp and the colors are so vivid…All the best! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Congrats Michael on your 100. 👏🏻🍾🇿🇦
Thank you! 😃
Congratulations Michael on your landmark video!
Thank you!
What a great story about the local Charles winning on home turf. Congrats on 100 videos. I appreciate your enthusiasm conveyed in your voice.
Thanks so much!
It was the first time since Ayrton Senna's wins that I was moved to tears about a win in F1! So glad for Leclerc and the monegasques! Thank you for your video, Michael, I actually missed them!😊
It was so emotional. So happy for him. Thank you 😊
Your photos are absolutely epic....
Thank you so much!!
Your channel has the makings of making it big. Wonderful photography, as usual, Michael 😀
Thank you so much 😀
I usually watch the Monaco boat show. It’s fun to see the arrival by folks by boat not for the show! ❤ It so cool to see a hometown man winning his principality’s race!
The boat show must be a grand party
Michael I have never looked so intimately at any photographs before. These shots are beautiful.
Congratulations on your dream coming true. Have a wonderful prime season.
Also thanks for showing the chapel shots I had forgotten what an awful state she was in. Grand huh.
Thank you!!! It really was in a terrible state. I’m so glad to see it being restored.
@@MichaelPottsF1 yes it’s a beautiful chapel. The pics that got to me though were the race pictures.
Congrats on 100 videos! Always good to see your work on UA-cam too!
Yay, thank you!
100 videos and many more millions of views to come!
Thank you!!!🙏
My daughter loves LeClerc and it was one of the first races that I have seen from start to finish! I love all of your shots and learned quite a bit from this video! So cool that you get to photograph things that you love
That is awesome! I promise most races are more exciting :)
Superb vlog and your narration is excellent.. dont change a thing…you bring your own verve and exuberance and love of the f1 world to life…well done !
Thank you. That is so kind
Hi Michael Potts. Beautiful photos as always. Massive hugs from NY
Thanks so much how are you? Hope spring is in full bloom.
Well done Michael. Wonderful photos and commentary. You are very exciting listen to and I hear the excitement and happiness in your voice and tone. A joy to listen to, it’s almost like being there in person. ❤❤❤
Love seeing you back at LaLande and your pleasure at how wonderful the chapel is looking to date.
Please and safe travels to you Michael. ❤❤❤
Thank you! Hopefully I’ll be back soon. It’s amazing to see the transformation
Your shots are amazing. Yes, it was a snoozefest, but to see Charles Leclerc, the son of a plumber, not a millionaire win his home grand prix was absolutely wonderful.

From chateau diaries straight here ! Two loves - thanks ! Congrats on 100 videos.
Thank you. That’s so good to hear!!! It’s a small cross over audience :)
One is swept up in your enthusiasm of the Monaco race and atmosphere that you capture in your photos. So cool a Monegasque won the race 🏎️ Congratz on 💯th video 🍾
Thank you 😊
Awesome photos Michael. Monaco is so lovely and unlike any city in Europe. I haven’t been there in forty years so I loved seeing parts of the city. Stay safe out there.
Glad you enjoyed it. Did you see much of a change?
Well done Michael P., thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great photography as usual, Michael! I love your videos and look forward to them after each race. I was absolutely thrilled for Charles and also devastated for Checo!
It looks like Checo has signed a new 2 year deal. Thank you for watching!
Congrats on your 100th Vid!
Thank you!!
we love you
*blush*
Happy 100th, Michael...referring to the number of great videos of course but you can still put 100 candles on a cake to celebrate the event.
Thanks 😊
Great commentary Michael as well as amazing photography
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow! that’s great for Morocco 🏎️
and congratulations on 100 videos! 😃
Thank you! 😃

I’ve never seen the prince getting involved
Loved your narration! Will watch a second time to catch it all!
Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic footage. Exciting presentation. Thanks Michael.
My pleasure!

So informative and your mastery with the camera produces such art - amazing.
That’s so lovely to hear
what wonderful photos
Thank you!
😍Great narration to your stunning photos!!🏎️
ELATED for Charles Leclerc!🥂🍾

Wow. That is a great story. His family is still very much in motorsports.
Michael Potts, I don't even care about Formula One, but I do enjoy your vlog. I really like the visuals. They're beautiful to watch.👍
I appreciate that! Thank you 😊
Well done Michael!!!
Thank you!!

Lovely to see your site growing Michael.😊
Thanks so much
Great vlog filled with amazing photographs.👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Congratulations on 100 videos Michael.
Monaco is a very photogenic race however it is nearly always a snoozefest. This year was only worth it to see the emotional reaction of LeClerc and the Royal family as Charles is not a rich migrant but a true local reaching the top of such a demanding sport.
If it doesn't rain, it does get very dull, and without Charles winning it would have been a hard story to tell.
The photo's are amazing Mr Potts you certainly lead a colourful life world traveller to chateau life nice to see you back at La Lande.take care and see you next time 💕🌼🤗
Thank you - hope to be back soon

That is not a bad idea - let me see what I can do, and what I am allowed to show :)
Well narrated, Mr. Potts! And how exciting it must’ve been for Leclerc to win this Formula One! They must’ve partied for days! Well, I do hope you enjoy Montreal as you’ll be coming to our home country. 🇨🇦Hope they take good care of you there! Safe travels
A wonderful eye opener on Monaco and Formula One. Great shots. Loved your look at LaLande Chapel!
Thank you! So amazing to see all the changes at Lalande!!! Need to come back soon.
Ik heb genoten !😀👏🏻
Lekker!!!!
Michael, your photos are extraordinary. You are living the dream. You have a chateau and access to celebrities and race cars- unreal!
I do have to pinch myself…. All the time.
I thoroughly enjoyed your 'take' on this race ... almost convinced me that it is worth watching on a Sunday ... but, it was worth all the boredom just to see Charles win ... a magical moment x
This was a particularly dull Monaco. Last year was great… but it rained
Absolutely amazing pictures and what a beautiful City through your lens!
Ah, Monaco! Whilst not the most exciting race I think the emotion from Charles over the radio at the end will stick with me for a long time to come!

Lovely vlog and spectacular photos. Thank you.😊
Glad you enjoyed it

Great photographs Michael Potts I was at the F1 GP Monaco on the Saturday in the Rascasse Stand great views of the Pitts , my 2nd GP there , just love the vibe of Monaco GP thank you great video .
Very cool! Were you in the bar at Rascasse? It looks like a very place to watch from
Incredible captures, Michael! And you told a great story along with them that made it all palpable.
I felt sad that Charles's Dad wasn't there to celebrate in person with his son. He would have been looking on from afar, I'm sure.
Lotsa love, Jacqueline from New Zealand
Thank you. Yes, I am sure both of them were in the car with him the whole race.
@@MichaelPottsF1 ,yes! I didn't think of that! 💕
A dream of mine to watch the F1 at Monaco. See you in Montreal this weekend.
Monaco is amazing. Did you stay dry so far?
@@MichaelPottsF1 just crazy weather. Sunny one minute then hard rain. Hope you and your cameras are staying dry.
Mine have survived some massive rain storms and are still working perfectly (touch wood) - great Nikon craftsmanship.
👍👍👍 really enjoyable 😊
Thank you
Thank you for another great vlog and it was wonderful that LeClerc broke the Monaco curse. Can't wait till you come to my neck of the woods next. Welcome back to Canada Micheal
Can't wait! I’m on the plane. Always a bit of a surprise here.
Don’t forget the great food Michael and I hope we have great weather for you
The pictures are great.
Thank you so much!!

Great video Michael! 😄
Glad you enjoyed it!
Screaming V10s,, and the farting 1.5 V6s. In cars the size of a Caddy.
Nice take on this event
Thanks. It is a huge change in sound. Still better than 2016. That was painful.
Loved your commentary ❤
Thank you 😁
Wonderful vlog
Thank you 😊
Excellent,thank you
Glad you liked it!
I really enjoyed this video! Beautiful and interesting. I subscribed, and look forward to your next one. Thanks
Awesome, thank you! There will be another one out tonight
Great shots through the barrier Michael. I hadn't seen the crash footage from that angle. Finally like one of Lewis' fashion choices. The race wasn't very exciting but it was a great win for Charles. 🙂🇨🇦
I am so happy for Charles, bit of a come down in Canada - maybe he will have a chance in Austria!
Félicitation ~ 100 fort 🎉
Thank you
