CELEBRITIES who follow F1!

You are spot on about Gordon Ramsay. Definitely the most frequently attending celebrity. But Gordon Ramsay doesn’t attend for PR. He’s a true motorhead. Has a massive car collection and shows up at many major car events. Like Jay Leno in the US. He loves to talk about cars. Had a nice chat with him on race day in Vegas in front of the Williams Racing garage about cars and racing. Definitely my favorite celeb who attends the races because most just attend to use F1 for the free PR. Gordon often brings his children with him and loves the racing. Respect.

[@DebbiSmithDC]

He knows a lot!

Awesome movie!

You missed out on quite a few celebrities which makes this video more of a random overview, but that was to be expected of course. No way you can' catch them all. What comes to mind is hiphop legend Q-Tip (Miami 2022), George Lucas (he's a regular), Mathew McConaughey (COTA), Keanu Reeves (he even made an F1 documentary), Elon Musk (Miami 2022), Jeremy Clarkson (regular), Will Smith (regular). Not to mention tons of royalty (Japanese, Dutch, etc), presidents, prime ministers, and other local stars. I guess you could easily squeeze three episodes out of this subject.

I must shout out Dax Shepard, actor/writer/director/podcaster, who is the reason I watched DtS and now all the races (and qualifying and some practices)! He had an F1 podcast last season and has been to many races, some with Kristen Bell. He’s raced bikes and he’s friends with Danny.

Fun Fact: Hamilton's best friend, Miles Chamley-Watson (fencing), is sponsored by Red Bull. He is a Red Bull athlete.

[@GabeSuarezz]

You can't say things like this. It goes against Team LH claims that RB are the R word.

[@dianamaioru497]

@@GabeSuarezz Shows you know nothing about TeamLH and just parrot lies told by others to give us a bad name. As a die hard Lewis fan who is active in all the social media communities, I can assure you nobody in TeamLH gives a shit about him being RedBull-sponsored. We don't care about that, he is friends with Lewis and that's all that matters. The only RedBull people we don't like are those in F1, specifically only a few members: Horner, Helmut, Jos, Coulthard, and sometimes Max depending on what he says. These are the RedBull people that instead of minding their own business, constantly stir up shit, antagonise, provoke, discredit and disrespect Hamilton as often as they can. They and their gullible Redbull fanbase are like the F1 equivalent of the "MAGA" people in the USA.

People saying “You forgot”… He cannot possibly make a video naming every celebrity that has ever been in a paddock. Also, except for 1 or 2, do they actually follow the sport, or do they want to be seen at a circus full of cameras?

In the royalty section of the video you missed the Dutch royal family as they attend the Dutch GP every time it comes around

That is not “following” the sport. It’s attending an event in your own country because you’re the monarch so you have to. Same goes with other royals.
