[@teamredgutz399]

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!

[@teamredgutz399]

@@DebbiSmithDC always a pleasure to see a famous person who actually loves the sport and isn’t just milking it. Martin Brundle usually sniffes out those people in three seconds.

Patrick Dempsey is a serious racer in Porsche and endurance racing. He’s actually raced the 24 hours of Le Mans and come in P2-same as Paul Newman when he was alive.

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.

Chris Hemsworth also played James Hunt in the movie 'Rush' about the infamous 1976 F1 season. Arguably the best movie about F1 currently available.

[@nutterfjell]

Awesome movie!

"follow" might be a stretch in some cases.

The fact , Kym missed Mathew McConaughey , who actually knows about the sport is crazy .

[@TellURide447]

Same with Rowan Atkinson. Mr Bean has been to many races

[@daksh2953]

Kym even missed Ravi Shastri Indian cricket team coach and ex player, who is an old friend of Mika Hakinnen (Drinking buddy infact). Has appeared on F1tv post race, is Well known in Britain, Australia, Netherlands and other cricket playing nations. Kym also forgot JEREMY CLARKSON

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.

[@lincolnwensley526]

It also depends who he got a photograph of. Not everyone you see on the broadcast is captured by a solo photographer.

[@tomso9246]

Bieber

[@MichelleWalterdoesArt]

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.

[@Jezza12]

Judging by these comments, seems like you’ll need to make a part 2 of this 😂

[@martinc.720]

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?

[@pepsiaddicttttttttt___]

Michael Douglas has been friends with Lawrence Stroll for many years, he has known Lance since he was a baby, not surprised he is there with Aston Martin.

[@DebbiSmithDC]

Michael and also his wife is a definite gearhead!!

[@imanny99]

No mention of Will Smith or Trevor Noah? Trevor is actually knowledgeable about the sport and not just there to show face

[@DebbiSmithDC]

Sir Jackie Stewart an "official capacity" Rolex representative. Wow!

[@bobroberts3968]

Believe it. He has his shirts custom made with the left cuff higher than the right in order to show off the watch.

[@luciferdiablo4890]

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

[@martinc.720]

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.

[@markoootje]

The watch the races at home... So they do follow the sport!

[@Bluearn1972]

He did mention the royal family at Monaco, and you can say that they are there in the same attendance.

Kym, I'm a big fat dumb American, and I haven't got a clue who "Megan the Stallion" is, or why? 😂 I'm sure she is self entitled if she wouldn't speak to Martin. Somebody relatively new to celebrity should stop for any person with a microphone that she sees. Although I do believe Serena Williams, and her security, just weren't properly informed when they ditched him, and her security was just doing their job.
