The experience has change quite a bit. I was once invited by Renault to the South African GP in 93. And I had access to everything but there wasn't a paddock club at the time. I spend 3 days in the pits with the Williams team when Alain Prost and Damon Hill were driving. I was able to walk on the grid before the start of the race. I had free movement in the pit for the entire week end. I remember seeing Ayrton Senna pit, I run to take a pic but he was already leaving. The best part was that I met Frank Williams nurse and we got friendly, He wanted to go out in Johannesburg and I took him to a bar where we were right next to James Hunt and got to laugh at his stories. After the race that Prost won, I was still in the garage and bump into Patrick Head who instead of being upset was more worried that he didn't spill any coffee on me. And at the end of the week end I was invited to dinner with the Wiliams team mechanics. My best F1 week end ever. I never got a chance to do this aqain. But it is burned into my memory.

I think the VIP pass was the one to have. it got you right into the action where all the team members were. What was the Paddock Club but a glorified first class lounge. And I couldn't believe the quality of food you were getting there. Altogether a great time.

Shoutout to that mechanic for giving you a shirt. I was an equipment manager for a hockey team and love when the support staff is cool and friendly like that. they're the unsung heros with a thankless job.

[@Faydurr]

That’s so sick! Had no idea the VIP pass allowed that much trust in the fans. You did an incredible job documenting that for us all. Has to be a better experience for a die hard fan rather than more of a posh experience of the paddock club I’m sure. Also love how you’re just hanging out and Gasly just walks in between you two, like you really are just a part of the alpine family.

[@cdnshark19]

My dad and I would always go to the Indy Car race at Laguna Seca in Monterey. CA growing up in Northern California. One year he won pit passes for the whole weekend and we were walking behind the garages when all of a sudden we open a door and there's Michael Andretti, who was still driving at the time. My dad was wearing an old Montreal GP shirt and Michael started raving about the Canadian GP and how cool a city Montreal is for about 15 minutes! Meanwhile little me started playing tag with some of the kids there and was tagged by a future driver, Marco Andretti. So you're 100% right about the VIP access being misnamed, it should absolutely be called the "family pass" for the access we're granted!

[@RobertMacCready]

Really???

[@robfisher3790]

Yes, really. I researched this because I really wanted to do this. I thought it would be just the VIP tickets, but it's not. It's the garage experience, and it costs $25k starting. 😢

[@vanyalbertine1121]

It's now $39000 per person

[@indiaclear1544]

@@robfisher3790I’m not entirely sure that’s the case. I may be wrong, but I’m relatively clued up on passes and access, and as far as I’m aware there is no way to outright buy an unlimited paddock pass. You can buy experiences that will include tours or time in the garage… but no way to buy unlimited VIP access for a full weekend. You need to be invited by a team.

[@r3ll0g]

I would have geeked out! This is so awesome man! I’m so happy you got this experience and even happier that you were able to share it!

[@taylorharmer3363]

This was GREAT! I felt like I was there with you. Thank you for not editing this down to a 10 minute video for the algorithms. I especially liked the "raw" scenes where you cut the music and commentary. Where else do you get that? As an added bonus... there was a train (metro) for you to take! Wouldn't be a DownieLive video without a train!!

[@DownieLive]

Haha so true! So glad you appreciated those moments.

[@dog61]

There's nothing like the first time having this kind of access. I spent a number of years as a media person on a NASCAR series and I can remember standing in the paddock and telling myself how cool it was. Certainly not as prestigious as F1, of course. Great video.

[@stuartcudlip223]

What an absolute privilege for you, well documented and every credit to Alpine for having an inclusive experience 👍🏻

[@keith_jones]

For the rest of my fellow US citizens aubergine is eggplant to most of the lower 48. I nearly had to clean my monitor as Mike wasn't trying not to "stand out" while rocking a mullet and an alpaca shirt. Somehow, he carries it off. I wouldn't dare. 😂

Vieo idea-Full luxury paddock club to a grand prix, plus EK first class to the way there😉

[@dennisud]

With all we saw that pit stop was so quick, almost a blur, it is so different not just in speed, but organization from what races I have seen. Which BTW, has been over a decade where I have watched a race. Thanks so much for this video!

[@vincentrenevier]

Interesting to see. I was in the Paddock club with Mercedes in Monza last week and was geeking at the VIP passes all the time. As paddock guest you get an insane hospitality and you also get to go into the garages during all sessions for some time, but you are then guided back to the paddock club, so you do not really have access to the paddock. Interestingly we were also not allowed to film in the garages but with you there seem to be exceptions. Additionally there is no official possibility to buy VIP passes as they are handed out by the teams and are extremely limited in contrast to the paddock club tickets which can be bought.. for absurd amounts of money, usually starting at around 6,5k/person and going up to 16k/person for Las Vegas for example. Might be worth to mention that at the paddock club you are always right above the pit lane and the main straight so you see the start, the pitstops and the finish as well as the celebration live, which as VIP guest is hard as you are located in the paddock and not close to the track. So best option is to get paddock and VIP passes, which usually almost all (VIP) people do.

[@gerekappo]

So happy for you brother. The video just popped for me, and i'm trully happy to see someone that really apreciates all that happens behind the scenes on a sport like F1. I worked, little, on track, with motorbikes, and is just good to see someone respecting who is working.

[@oldestpartofheaven]

i guess you said it right, it's a "Family Pass" - the Paddock Club People are not "VIP" - but Crew and "Family" are really the Very Important Persons - they got access to the really important areas. awesome experience, i am actually jealous :D

[@atomic_poppy]

Why even bother getting a Paddock pass then

[@KaiGermann]

I was in the local newspaper for an internship. It was actually over, but for the weekend I was allowed to get press accreditation for the DTM at my home race, the Lausitzring. It was wonderful. A fantastic and unique opportunity. There was a press event on Thursday. Friday as usual free practice and some interviews and stroll in the paddock. I was Saturday and Sunday both in the stands and in the Media Center. I saw so many heros of my childhood . It was so awesome. I am forever grateful for these four days 😊

[@ILooveeuuu]

I love that story! Thank you for sharing

[@kitsune2509]

I was there! I felt the huge wage clash when I cross the casino entrance. All the rich people heading to the paddock while me and my mom heading for some food during the lunch break. Can't imagine what it would be like if I had be given a VIP pass. I'd probably feel out of place.

[@schwags1969]

That was great, so glad you got to do that, and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@michaelbrown5143]

Mike, i found your videos when you went to your first F1 race, I was instantly hooked and then found out you also do a TON of train content as someone whos loved trains since he was little, you channel was made for me. I cannot wait to see the next video and where your travels will take you. thank you for taking me along with you. you have helped so many of us learn and enjoy somethings we would never be able to do otherwise.

Mike, that was such a fantastic video. Seeing both of your emotions as fans were great. This has to be my favorite video so far. You open the F1 door to so many people that are not aware of it. Now I do the research and become an F1 fan. - THANKS! Dan in Spokane.

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thank you! That's awesome! Enjoy the race this weekend!

[@charlesmcdermott6139]

Mike! FOne racing isn’t something that would be on my bucket list, but watching people enjoying themselves gives me joy! You obviously we’re happy and excited! It was fun watching you! By the way I like your new haircut. It makes you look great! Also, you were in my favorite city in North America! J’aime Montreal! What I would have enjoyed most, had I been there with you, would have been those fabulous meals ! I have never had a bad meal in Montreal, but those that you had were incredible! I used to drive up to Montreal all the time, but I have switched over the years to Amtrak’s “Adirondack” . I cross the Hudson from my home in New Jersey and get to Penn Station and in 11 restful hours I have arrived having seen magnificent scenery out the window. The food is not great, but edible , the seats are comfortable , etc.

[@mcihl3625]

This was such fun to watch! Glad that you were able to have an amazing experience. Being an Ocon and Alpine fan, I may be just a tad bit jealous 😂

[@michaelformaini7053]

Thank you Mike for this interesting 'behind the scenes' tour of the Canadian F1. You sure were looked after by the Alpine F1 Team - that food!!!! - Now it's time to work off those calories. Your event seems to be on a much grander scale than the Aussie Grand Prix in my own city of Melbourne (Albert Park circuit) but I can relate to the atmosphere, especially around the public transport to/from the venue. Albert Park is fortunate to be served by Light Rail and street tram networks connecting with the wider heavy rail Metro network so it's a no-brainer on how to get to the race. For those with sensitive ears and not-so-deep pockets, the race action can be heard from quite a distance away from the track and there is television coverage as well. Nearby pubs and eateries do very well catering for those who don't/can't get into the race venue. Even the animals know something loud is going on. No self respecting dog, cat, possum, swan, magpie or seagull can be found lurking near the track during race time. Thanks for sharing your excitement at being at your local F1 race.🙂🙂🙂

[@mindbendernine]

Dude - what an OUTSTANDING video! Brought back memories of the two Canadian GP's that I've attended in my life. Being so close to the pit (IN the pit, rather) and in the Alpine hospitality suite? Incredible! Great coverage and excellent video quality, btw. One of my favorite videos - keep up the great work!

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thanks!

[@kewljewl3006]

F1 is coming to the Vegas strip in November, so all we have heard on the daily news about is the preparations. You certainly got a quality experience! As a local I plan to avoid the crowds and stay home. Thanks for the in depth experience!

[@cltlogix]

The 2 times I've had vip access to nascar I was allowed basically anywhere in the infield other than the driver's busses themselves, even being allowed to stand in line with the driver and team that invited me, so I was always curious how different or similar f1 would be

[@TheStormBorne]

One of my friends aunt was running a Busch team in the early 2000's and we got a VIP passes and it was an amazing experience but much more meat and potatoes than an F1 seems to be. Nothing beat the feeling of being near that roaring thunder of those cars.

[@karengreenlee4356]

OK, so when your video starts I noticed the round globe in the background. This was the site of the 1967 World's Fair I believe. My family went to it back when I was a kid. One of the things I remember most was all the walking. They had these things you could stand on and they would massage your feet. Funny how I just now remembered that. Anyway, I'm sure the racing was a great experience for you.
