*_Frank is an incredible manager_* & runs the show like a well oiled machine. ALL OF US want to see Tom hired back next year. (Frank, hire Tom. I’ll wash your cab all year)

[@dannyw9364]

The media personality you took to the main stage to meet stormzy must’ve been Martin Brundle then. What a class week of work that is Tom 👌

[@Zipperzapper_]

As a Tom and F1 fan, this is amazing! Very cool that you were allowed to film on the grounds. And sleeping in the back of the cab, wild haha. Even getting the F1 font to do all the graphics shows the attention to detail you put in to all the videos.

[@GTLPT]

A possible reason that Verstappen changed taxi was that he was worried that fans knew you were carrying him, so wanted to swap to taxi to avoid fans

[@hughraynor8670]

I saw you there! I shouted "Are you Tom!?" Haha. Very funny to see people where you're not expecting them. My Mrs thought I was mad!

[@Agman.P]

Brilliant haha

[@wsxboy]

I could imagine everyone shouting for Max Verstappen and you're going "Is that Tom the taxi driver?!"

[@mcgoo721]

I would have told Lando "sorry about this mate, I have a KZbin channel they must recognize me." 😂

[@paulb270]

Great video Tom! Did you know that was the first time in over 50 years that 3 British drivers qualified 1st 2nd and 3rd for the British grand prix?

[@Pommster]

I've never been to Silverstone either. It's amazing to have a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes logistics of the race weekend.

[@jameswarland9710]

brilliant insight to the running of the race weekend. great vid Tom

[@itsmeteorain]

What an oppertunity! Nicely done Tom!

[@ankurmittalrcv93mittal14]

The way you explain your job is so so interesting and they way you appreciate these moments is really great thing not everybody does that

[@travellertone-w8v]

Being a big f1 fan, it was great to see the behind the scenes of a weekend, glad you had a great time, hope to see you again doing another video from Silverstone

[@jonnyhurst5991]

That was a quality watch wow

[@TheTimTri]

This is so cool mate! What a great experience and thanks for the insights! I was recently a volunteer at Germany’s biggest golf tournament, and getting close to the stars is special for sure.

[@jonavis3514]

what a weekend you had at silverstone

[@oldmanc2]

Absolutely fascinating- I've been following F1 for years but learnt so much about the behind the scenes action

[@rs2352]

Nicely Done !! Big fan of F1, and your Channel and insights really bring home some of the inner workings.

[@rdeaconsa]

Very cool video.. I had a similar experience as a chaperone on the global citizen concert in South Africa.. I was allocated to babysit Chris Martin all weekend but also met Ed Sheeran, Pharell , Oprah and Usher.. such a fun experience

[@redabitar]

Always hoped to catch you some time in London, I'm kind of jealous of Lando, he got to ride in your cab!!!

[@ivorwelch8446]

Absolutely a brilliant video, really enjoyed it and a great experience for you. Shame about the weather this year.

[@timwillett7802]

Amazing video Tom! What a cool weekend!! Good to see my mate Christian appreciating your work too! Hope you do this again next year and film the experience. Ps: nice use of the F1 font on the graphics 👍🏻

[@hybridtheory1985]

Really cool different vid. Verstappen seems pretty cool

[@paulclark3226]

Tom thanks for showing that, I never thought that kind of thing happened at a grand prix for taxi drivers 👍

[@agj22526259]

Great content Tom!! Love the variation.

[@RaceBanner_]

Great video Tom, between this & your (donated) time to Paris Disney for the kids, you are an amazing industry ambassador. Now you just need a matching caravan for the taxi!

[@jameshill8711]

Real great and fascinating upload Tom.

[@iTomAnks]

Great video! What an amazing opportunity.

[@DavidBrant]

Kudos to ya, Tom! Looked like a fun job! Hopefully more to come for ya!

[@juliajones2283]

This was so interesting to see some of the behind the scenes.

[@SundayRacers]

I spent a good chunk of my life at Silverstone. Some great memories from there

[@DeanCovert]

Welcome to entertainment! Yeah it's weird to see the celebs up close, I've been there and it's a wild time! Hope you get more of these exclusive gigs!

[@DeanCovert]

Reminds me of working Boston Calling this year

Amazing video Tom! I just played bloodstock festival yesterday and as a vehicle that gets all access it really is mind blowing!

[@eucri]

I'm glad that I discovered this channel, I always love BTS type of videos!

[@nhaaaPl]

It's very interesting to see this side of the event.

[@jack_fm2751]

No way! Wish I knew you were there this year! Would have tried to find you! Love the video mate

[@framedman]

Great gig to get as a taxi driver

[@jca302]

Hey mate I was one of the Marshalls on the wing came over and said hi, keep up the good work

[@johumm455]

living close to a TT motor race track and worked there i know a little bit of the feeling 🙂

[@jape7588]

Awesome video mate!

What a great job this must be

Would be a great weekend that, keen to hear what sort of payment was offered for your services.

[@amfwelsh]

This was super cool

[@channelnotinuse00]

Hahahaha I know I joked about camping in the taxi but never expected this Tom & F1 nice

[@CharlieReZa]

SHould have discussed KZbin with Lando. He's very active with his Quadrant channel, i reckon you could have a great collab - maybe get him driving your cab

[@shiftymenno]

well how freaking cool is that!

[@Antoine_ZR1]

11:34 LOL 😂

[@NewGuyRacing]

you're awesome mate

[@vwgolffancarreviews7111]

I have been to selver stone race track it's a very good day out with family

[@cocoM1]

It was one of the best weekends of my life! Did you know that the media guy for Stormzy was Martin Brundle? Oh, and please tell me that Lando was nice ❤❤😅

[@user-io9im4rc8h]

Great video

[@paulc1983]

Jobs like these getting paid is just a bonus. I did some work on London Olympics 2012 and almost felt guilty sending the invoice 😂

[@Burnie1601]

You got to use PitStop Cafe for your food?!? Lucky bugger! On medical we had to use the mass catering outside gate 5.

[@Andybarney555]

KZbin just stumbled me across you.. f1 fan. Subbed. Seem top lad happens to be hired to do f1.. noice!. Keep it up!!!👊

[@TomtheTaxiDriver]

Thank you 😊

[@Tomster-bk9tx]

Miss the marker pen and the map🤣

[@zaar2604]

I was there for the Grand Prix on Sunday, sat in Stowe, just next to the heliport, it was fucking loud and busy up until the race started.

[@bradleyday9455]

Hi Tom , I have a txe(that has a livery at the moment) I saw your video where you did the silverstone gig. Loved it as I’m a big f1 fan ,I would love to know how you go about getting the silverstone job. Also do you get tickets for your family or just the driver. Many thanks in advance for any info.

[@Kj_Gamer2614]

I could never drive around max verstappen and not want a quick chat and photo with him. You have far more restraint than I do!

[@djburland]

Very Cool job!

[@jj161173]

Nice one Tom.

[@herogeroi8521]

How did you decide what to charge per day?

[@urquhartenator]

Hi Tom, do you get paid per job or is it a set Day/Event amount, just curious as your meter wasn’t running

[@smgreenartsprivate]

I wasn't aware they needed private cabs but I guess so does that also mean staff like F1 photographer Michael Potts if so do say hello for me :) is a great contract and a break from regular shifts I guess. Who takes them from the track to their hotels though? or do you just bring them to an outside cab or limo? I would expect them to put up the cab drivers in hotels who are quite a distance from home :( tents I dunno I guess) These events have the occasional hiccup sure they will look at reports and make amendments to make it more easier for cabbies and patrons. I imagine after it was done there will be a meeting to discuss how it went. I have worked 2 similar events before and know how stressful they can be even if you aren't driving cabs like film festivals and music award shows. Well done Tom and Frank and team.

[@matthewhickey2338]

Great video

[@Stretched_]

Did you not have a wash all weekend Tom ?

[@oneteaminbristolbcfc]

The money there!!!

[@Bigaitch]

Loved this video , it gave a really fascinating insight into what goes on bebind the scenes. However, I have a question for Tom , or anyone else who xan answer for that matter; How come it is not cabbies local to Silverstone that are used? I was of the opinion London cabbies could only pick up in the capital? I guess to anyone with greater knowledge the answer will be obvious, but I am an outsider.

[@Robbo_13]

I wonder how many times we saw you that weekend. 🤔😂

[@chillies4156]

How did you getting paid work for this?

[@grzegorzszramka5758]

Nice one 🎉

[@runarandersen878]

I hope it was paid well :)

[@mtty1988]

Would also love some challenge videos. Like How many cases can u fit in the cab with 4 passengers. How many boxes or people can fit in it and be safe to drive. Fastest way to load and then after unload a wheelchair. Maybe a challenge like you had with Tom Scott but again other cabbies maybe u need to get form a to b but with several stops in between let driver pick route order of pickups to see who is fastest cheapest also most efficient ie time fuel over money and comfort the story is man needs to go form a to b but needs to pick multi pick up drop off some with language known before start something to drop off like a letter or dry cleaning to pick up and then get to the end the destination in the most efficient time and cost. Maybe a top gear race taxi v tube get form a-b most efficient u v fellow KZbinr Geoff marshals. If you do efficient means not always strait point a-b but go other way will same money ie using pink oyster tap points or use bus or overground or network rail if better. make it more fun. Try see if you can get a job too or from Buckingham palace or Downing Street etc and if do show us if you go in via main entrance or a back entrance. Do more of your can I get via all of London boughs with out traffic lights and so on

[@scottlovell6992]

Amazing

[@djkitchen982]

That's epic!

[@Ducky39101]

Lmao what a cross over. Great vid

[@sim77410]

How does the money for events like this compare to the normal day job?

[@adamproctor9315]

Was the pay for this event a flat fee or did you charge the organisers for each job done? I'm confused. Is it just like 500 quid for 4 days work? How did it compare to working in town?

[@WTG20233]

Awesome! Call me nosy 🧐 but was that financially better then an average weekend working in london?)

[@AnthonysTransport]

Crazy to be this early, can't believe you went there 🤩

[@benfoxhall1095]

Hello Christian hewgill!!

[@mtty1988]

Who hired the cabs and ur boss frank was he in charge of all cabs is there an operator or taxi operators team. Would love a behind the scenes of how it all works the operations logistics of it all not just the jobs as this amazing video was. Are they any other places where they use London back cabs but also with there actual drivers? Would love a video doing taxi only streets and that. Usual moves oddities like the green huts or the wrong way at the savoy any other things a taxi driver can do with normal road users can’t and don’t mean just driving, streets or turnings thinking have you any other rights or unusual things that cabbies can do. Also would love to see rough prices to see cost and also how times day your routing and other stuff effect the pricing and how you knowing London not only the knowledge of routes but the knowledge of where’s busy quite(to find jobs and faster journeys) where to avoid go as what planned in London any events closures road works etc as that side looks amazing. I love trains and tube and know there is lots of events for that I know there truck fest for lorries is there out for taxis if so u should go do a video for us and also to show ur self off to the fans
