Vettel just went with the average European family man car. White Skoda octavia, base trim (not even fog lights). The most efficient way to go unnoticed.
I think the Alfa Romeo drivers and the Ferrari drivers drove Chryslers and Jeeps since the Alfa and Ferrari are owned by Stellantis, who also own Chrysler and Jeep aswell.
@@zacharybartlett3072 Both Stellantis as Exor are Agnelli fam company's (Holdings) registered in the Netherlands for tax avoidance, male box company's just used for the tax construction, Ferrari is not owned, it's 70% public, 20% shares Agnelli with Exor and 10% shares Enzo's 2nd son Pierro Lardi Ferrari
Ferrari are no longer owned by Stellantis. They were spun out of FCA in 2016. They seem to still have a relationship with Alfa Romeo though, providing engines for some of their flagship performance cars.
It’s a bit over the top if you would ask me… I don’t want to say it causes motion sickness but it doesn’t add any value in my opinion. Think about the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Anyway, keep up the good work 👍
Jeep and Chrysler are part of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) which ferrari & alfa romeo are also part of. So they didn't really drive competitor cars....
For Merc. It’s a GLE. GLE is the model. 300 is the trim level. D means diesel. Model: GLA/GLB/GLC/GLE/GLS/G/A/B/C/E/S Trim level: 180/200/250/300/350/400/450/500/600 Powertrain: D-diesel, H-hybrid, E-phev Hope it helps.
@@braadei I was talking about Mercedes, not Lexus. More power meaning higher trim level. Since it's more expensive, it comes with higher standard of equipment as well. Hence the trim level for general consumer to understand.
Looks like a lot of teams must have used rental cars rather than cars from manufacturers. With Sochi as a resort area, there probably are many rentals available.
Hi i’m looking for some people that know a lot about cars, that would be interested in helping me with the “what the drivers drove videos”. Would you be happy to be apart of a WhatsApp panel that would provide feedback on the car makes and models? First time you respond about a car you’ll receive a digital image as a thank you.
The standout for me was Antonio's car. That's not a normal Grand Cherokee. That's the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk. 707 horsepower in a crossover. Pretty much the only sports car in the paddock this time.
I don't know if you know this but Antonio Giovinazzi's silver Jeep Grand Cherokee is actually a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that has a 6.2 liter Supercharged V8 with 707 horsepower from the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Charger Hellcat.

So only the Mercedes guys stayed on brand... I agree with you Kym, Carlos with his red Jeep is the winner. So the Ferrari guys win even when they don't drive Ferraris :)
i reckon the best car would have to be the Antonios Grand Cherokee track hawk, with its 6.2L supercharged Hemi making 707hp, I think its a bit better than Carlos rubicon
kym do a video about drivers' managers assistsnts or handlers, i know not all have but checo and carlos have their cousins, seb and britta, lewis and angela etc, just an idea
Not a direct relationship, but the Agnelli family owns about 23% of Ferrari and about 14% of Chrysler's parent company Stellantis, which also owns the Alfa Romeo brand.
Great work again Kym, Do you ever snap a photo of what vehicles the mechanics and other team personnel arrive in at the circuit? Are they arriving in buses or people movers, etc??
didn't know jeep wranglers are driven by such high profile drivers. was surprised to see carlos in one 😎😎. Also no videos is complete w/o kym's swearing, i think its an aussie thing, love it though
Interesting to see so many Jeeps in Russia. Are Jeeps popular there? I'm such a car geek, Mick's car was a Q7 and Marzapan's Lexus was a LX And the Grand Cherokee is redesigned for 2022. ;). Thanks Kym. Book your hotel for QATAR!
How do they get so many cars for every track they visit? Are they all rented? or are they sourced from the local dealers? how about the rest of the team(pit crew, mechanics)? what do they arrive in? and do they stay in the same hotels as the drivers?
The editing on this one! Apart from your speaking mistakes. (Get a good rest, Kym!) This is a quality content. Also nice travel tip as well, will deftly try!
Are you allowed to add a GoPro at your camera (for example add the hotshoe) so you can film some stuff while the drivers are arriving and you taking pictures? Or are you only allowed to take pictures due to the strict accreditation? Just wondering

@@KymIllman don’t listen to Stefan. He did great. I particularly liked the pop up Sebastian Vettel.
Holy shit! all but Merc drivers drove competitor cars, only if the race wasn't enough
Russel drove a bmw
Jeep and Chrysler are part of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) which ferrari & alfa romeo are also part of. So they didn't really drive competitor cars....
It’s as simple as “Mercedes, the best or nothing”.
These are all standard rental cars. It is not easy to rent Ferrari in Sochi.
Alpine/Renault is a group of its own, in Stellantis of French brands are Peugeot, Citroen and DS
For Merc. It’s a GLE. GLE is the model. 300 is the trim level. D means diesel.

Wrong, the number is engine power whereas a bigger number is more power. Lexus is a LX570.
What is a Phev?

Well he already drives one around the track
I thought that this weekend drove a lada
@@oliverdbhowells faxxxx
Carlos's jeep looks amazing. 😮
You must love the A7 lol.. Alonso’ car was an A6 and Mick’ car was a Q7. 😉 love your content Kym
for Alonso's car he corrected himself, you can see on screen at 3:22
The Mercedeses that they drove are GLE 300d if anyone is wondering
And the Audi mick drove is a Q5
And Mazepin was in a Lexus LX

I have enjoyed looking back at the Russian grand prix racing from last year to see 👀 what F1 drivers drove to that weekend back in 2021.
porsche is part of the vw group and its basically the same car as a vw touareg!
Was waiting for the video
and you've been rewarded
Gio came in a trackhawk and gets no credit; feels bad man
The standout for me was Antonio's car. That's not a normal Grand Cherokee. That's the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk. 707 horsepower in a crossover. Pretty much the only sports car in the paddock this time.
That Jeep looked amazing.
all the drivers arriving in jeep should have had trackhawks like Antonio, that would have been cool
Not a track hawk
@@HarryG98 under the jeep Cherokee it says supercharged

Lots of big tank SUVs.
Comfortable, I guess.

antonio didn't arrive in any old grand cherokee kim, thats a trackhawk
bloody fast jeep
Omg. Kym has a teleportation machine!
Well I enjoyed it Kym but OCD Helen was distracted by the unmade bed and desk littered with devices on charge :)

It goes to show, Alonso is a robot and is always kept inside for preservation purposes
Stroll driving a Porsche is basically foreshadowing
Papa stroll buying Porsche? Hmmmm
loved the jeeps
Do Chrysler and Ferrari still have a relationship? Is that why they sometimes use Chrysler Group vehicles?
Not a direct relationship, but the Agnelli family owns about 23% of Ferrari and about 14% of Chrysler's parent company Stellantis, which also owns the Alfa Romeo brand.

Nice travel tip!!! 😉
5:49 you aren't that familiar with Audi aren't you Kym? I gotta turn a blind eye cuz it's a Q7 not an A7 ;)
Interesting how all the rentals had number plate brackets with the rental car company logo on them
Sebastian finally not on a leg day with his bike
It wouldn't be a surprise if some of them came to the track in a boat.
Please tell me Charles drove the Pacifica himself. Please.
Fernando never arrives nor leaves. He simply exists at the track
6:35 It's not Police, it's FSO (Federal Protective Service)
Love this vids :D
Kym A7 I do not think so? More likely a Q? Something. Just one you missed. Love your reports and style. Cheers.

What did christian horner drive?
4:19 does Russia have Dodge can I ask?
nope
Mazerpin was in a Q7 not A7
Correct.
Little bit of a bland "CARS OF THE TRACK" 😊😆😀 love ya work though bro
Can u take every f1 team princibal next time?
If I see them yes
I never knew that Russia had trackhawks.
The reason for no fancy cars was due to security.
Don’t know why but feels like half of those cars were bulletproof cars.
