I remember I was at the Belgian GP on a thursday waiting in a crowd of people to get the drivers autographs. All the drivers just showed up with their PR manager trailing behind. But Britta came to the pen just before Seb and firmly but kindly told/showed all the fans how to hold their merchandise so that Seb could be as efficient as possible giving autographs to as many fans as he could. Very efficient, effective and impressive.

I’ve followed F1 for years ever since I was young and you really are showing a whole new side and depth to the paddock which no one has done before. The trainers and pr profiles are people I’ve seen on tv for ages close to the drivers but never knew anything about them, until you showed us and like I said it instantly gives depth to a sport which is dominated by the drivers.
@dingking75774 жыл бұрын
James Preston well said and I feel the same way. Even the info he shares on the drivers is great cause a lot of it I didn’t know. The way Kym gets us closer to them without disrespecting them by throwing mud or going to personal is applaudable. I have enjoyed finding his site so much and it’s only been since the end of the season which was perfect because like every year I wasn’t ready for it to be over.

I'm dumbfounded by the fact it's common for a team to provide the driver with a PR employee. This is akin to a companies HR employee telling you 'I'm here to help you' when in reality the company pays them not you... There's essentially 2 methods of earning $ for these drivers: 1. Be successful in competition 2. Sell your image/brand/popularity (and benefit from the opportunities that come with this) When you personally employee a PR staff member, their success immediately becomes tied with your success.

Daddy1724, Magnussen had 3 dnfs this season, Ricciardo had that amount after 4 races, Magnussen is aggressive for sure, but he does not crash and he doesn’t make others crash. You see him as an issue and that is why it would be interesting to see how he is off the race track.
@dirkstrickland1354 жыл бұрын
Rasmus Vilain Magnussen didn’t crash because he is so infamous for dangerous driving. I couldn’t think of one instance where he didn’t attempt to push other drivers wide. Ultimately he is one of the drivers and it only matters how he behave on track. I am sure Magnussen is a somewhat decent person off track. Just like Maldonado is a pleasant soul in life; Raghunathan is a good person not a spoiled brat; Taki Inoue has great sense of humor. The only thing interesting about Magnussen is how he established corporate sponsorships to pay for his seat. His dad is more interesting than he is.
