Since then, you’ve helped me learn more about the sport and the ongoings and just enjoy the way you present information. Went to Austin a couple weeks ago and will be in Vegas filming content. Hope to run into you and say Hello! 🏎️👍🏾

    Looking forward to see how the actual racing will pan out given the track conditions, including the air temperature, and no special tyre compounds.
    For the Celsius people: 10 degrees Celsius at results in 1 degrees Celsius windchill at 300km/h; 5 degrees Celsius results in -5 degrees Celsius at 300km/h. Not very comfortable to drive in an ordinary race suit and gloves. It will be the complete opposite to Qatar qua conditions.

    The reversing video is a nice touch which makes everyone look twice. 👍 I did a reverse portion of a video at the spot behind you with the camera facing towards the Mirage. Great minds as they say.

Just wanted you to know sir that your honesty plus your knowledge of F1 is most refreshing and greatly appreciated. There has been any number of video's posted on You Tube over the past month or so that are so misinforming it's crazy.

    To be completely honest, F1 can show as many celebrities as they like, but from the Formation lap to the chequered flag, I want coverage to be on the motor race. I don't want to see a crowd shot or a celebrity faking an interest in F1. As a Brit, my coverage is by Sky Sports, which has the slogan 'It's only live once', and I want to see this spectacle and every overtake LIVE.

      I also like to see the pre-race grid and the iconic "grid walk" by people like Martin Brundle and Will Buxton, but this time, unfortunately, we're going to have to put up with more celebs than usual that will choke up the grid and be interviewed.

  • @billygoat520
    @billygoat520 6 місяців тому

    It was pretty amazing how all of those cars drove backwards at the 10:20 mark. Personally I would prefer the race to be at a less glitzy place, one that doesn't detract from the race, like Watkins Glen. Although it would take a boat load of improvements to host F1 being in the northeast would attract more race real fans as opposed to tourists.

    We booked a 2 queen bed room at Park MGM for around $200/night incl resort fees from Thurs-Sun. That's basically regular price! Also, we saw grandstand seats in the Sphere Zone for $200ish for Fri Quali. Cheaper on East Harmon if you don't mind that part of the track. Not bad at all.

    Thanks for your updates! I just booked my flight, hotel and F1 tickets all cheaper then I cost it out several months ago. There are good deals if you know where to look and stay.

    Although I am against the LVGP taking place due to obvious reasons (eg. money etc), it's great that you're showing us behind the scenes and the construction and generally organising the race in your videos. I'm remaining sceptical as of now though

    Something i have always wondered, how do you become an f1 photographer and what expenses come with it/ forms of income from it etc…. A video about this would be great

    01:29 I'm very curious what the organizers found out for the Sphere during the GP. That can be something that was never seen during an F1 race.
