What was the blue trim model name/no you got?

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Sweet watches!!!

[@chrisevans6471]

The CEO of the Bahrain GP is a very very smart guy. This is so amazing and nice of him. I call dibs on the next trip!

[@DownieLive]

Haha, if something like this ever happens again, I'll be shocked!

[@TeecesPiecesAUS]

Absolute honour to be taken on the trip of a lifetime, bucket list items checked off, got to spend time with my best mate. Incredibly grateful for the experience, thank you Michael!

[@DownieLive]

I was just happy to have you along again!

[@MrDjp1984]

I love how you're not the typical bragging youtuber, flexing how expensive everything is, but just fully enjoy the experience and share your enthusiasm!

[@m1st219]

Bro just casually met Lando,albon and George Russell 😂

[@toddbrown4185]

It seems like if you have any type of VIP ticket, you’re bound to meet some driver with how much running around they do. One of my friends got to sit in the Red Bull lounge for Austin a few years ago and Sergio and Max were just casually walking through and eating with them

[@jerseyraindog]

Your Bahrain trip last year made me buy a solo ticket to Bahrain for this years GP for my first flyaway race. Normally I use my motorbike to visit a European GP so this was much more relaxing! A lovely country. Great food, very friendly people and definitely the cleanest and most modern circuit I've attended. Although expensive to get to, the hotels, food and the ticket way cheaper than European grand prix. So in the end it works out very similar. Definitely worth the visit.

[@kuston1986]

What i love about your videos, is your child like enjoyment all all the things we see you do, and how willing you are to share the experiences with others. keep up the good work.

[@DownieLive]

I'm glad you appreciate it. Thank you so much!

[@crazyjoelowe]

WOW... just wow. I've been along on most if not all of your adventures and this one was just unbelievable. Thank you, as always, for taking us along. Just amazing!!

[@DownieLive]

I couldn't agree with you more! I felt like my jaw was on the floor the whole video!

[@itsnotme07]

Sometimes it pays to be the 1st! Nicely done Michael and Trent!! Awesome video and what a great honor to be part of that!! Always good to "Know a guy". Haha. Until the next video....keep the alarms happy in your 787!

[@abalzeris831]

I just found your channel last night because my daughter and I have become huge F1 fans. I started by watching your 1st F1 trip and watched hours of your videos. I love how humble you have remained saying you didn’t know places like your hotel room existed despite being treated to such a dream trip! Thank you for sharing your travels with those like me who will never be able to take such trips.

[@DownieLive]

Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad you can watch the videos with your daughter, I think that's so fun!

[@Valentijnzz]

Will you make more f1 content?

[@skyangelthefan]

Such a wonderful Blessing to a YT creator whom no doubt appreciated this Blesssing and shared it with us. Thanking the CEO whom Blessed Mike with this wonderful experience.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

18:20 Mike really said: “I know where I’m going but I know I want you there with me.”

[@DownieLive]

Ohhhh, I like that!

[@chrisco741]

I didn't think your Bahrain video could get more stunning, but this follow up vid blew me away. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[@aashvi]

Goosebumps! With travel as the appetizer, F1 being the main course and a dash of inspiration for dessert, this video had it all! The last episode of the Downie Travels by Train: America series that ended in Alaska gave me similar chills!!! You are truly an amazing content creator!

[@DownieLive]

Wow! That might be one of the best comments I have ever received. Thank you! I'm so glad I made you feel that way!

[@lurkyfn]

I can’t believe you didn’t freak out when you met Lando. I would be screaming

[@frances4309]

It's great that you took your first sub with you! Glad you were friends to boot! Wow! What a great adventure and sponsor to do this for you as well!

[@DownieLive]

Thanks Frances! I'm so happy Trent could come and that Holzkern wanted to come onboard as a sponsor. It really helped the whole experience come together.

[@Rarkmeece]

I believe that the cheapest f1 video was the one that got recommended to me first. Since then I've binged all your videos, your attitude and positivity is infectious. I'm planning my first train trip this summer to visit a friend because of you!

[@DownieLive]

Heck yeah! That's so cool to hear! I'm sure you'll love it. Enjoy!

[@Julianne955]

What an EPIC adventure! I know you showed us the plane ride, but the before and during...WOW! Thank you for taking us and Trent along. Truly, you deserved this adventure! Amazing!

[@MadMalandHobbes]

What an unbelievable experience! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Diane-cv7jb]

Thank you so much. That was a lot of fun!

[@DownieLive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@georgee6303]

This is why I absolutely LOVE your channel, Michael. Your enthusiasm for life and experiences is absolutely infectious.

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thank you!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:16 Gonna tell my kids this was Chandler and Joey with matching bracelets.

[@josephinegibbs3902]

Thanks for sharing the story behind the flight! Amazing!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

1:42 (War Flashbacks to Mike in a racing car praying for his life)

[@ReviewyCA]

Incredible! The power of just asking!

[@jodichadney]

Thanks for sharing your amazing story! What an awesome opportunity you made happen for yourself!

[@iraforleiter7954]

So was Trent THE Trent that sent out the hats? If so - thank you Trent! AND THANK YOU MIKE for the hats! They are wonderful! Love them!

[@DownieLive]

It’s the same one! We’re just happy to share smiles with you 😊

[@jacobrich7785]

Love that you showed us this and surprised your friend Such a great moment

[@AverageBo365]

Great story. The video from a year ago is what led me to your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@DownieLive]

I'm glad you're still here. More coming your way. Cheers!

[@willempatrick5804]

Awesome to see a little bit of a behind the scenes for your regular videos. Would love to see more of this!

[@DownieLive]

That's a good idea. I'll try to do more. Thanks Willem.

[@user-kb3yy2pi3c]

Honestly awesome experience this was! So happy for you and your friend!

[@mailxa2810]

This is so cool! Thanks for taking us with you, this is a dream!

[@dmbthegurl]

The right guy to ask found you! That’s awesome!

[@DownieLive]

No kidding, eh?! I had to ask :)

[@dmbthegurl]

@@DownieLive if you don’t ask, the answer will always be no. Asking nicely is always a good idea

[@TheSlowpC]

Beautiful! and seeing you grow has been great to watch!

[@DownieLive]

Thank you so much!

[@braaap2065]

Absolutely incredible. I'd saw off an appendage to get to just go to an F1 race. And you get to do this. I'll live through you because I won't ever get to go. Glad you guys had a great time!

[@DownieLive]

Don't SAW anything off! Hahaha! But I'll do my best to keep the F1 videos coming.

[@gaylepowers3981]

I've seen more things for the first time (and probably the last time) in my life through the lens of your camera. This was GREAT. Thanks again for a thrill of a lifetime. God bless.

[@WayneKline]

What a fabulous experience and very much deserved. Well done Mike!

[@bryanbenitez9101]

When i was looking for something to watch just in time

[@user-hp2il6su8r]

Fun video with you and your friend!

[@axhrafjamaxi6530]

No other F1 CC had touched the subjects in your F1 vids. Who had done flyover above Bahrain circuit, exploring Bahrain, etc. Keep it up. F1 China next?

[@Its_crazyadamla]

Watching Downie live is so entertaining to watch.

[@louisetvancouver6161]

You have the coolest life experiences , thank you for taking us along through your videos 👏😎👍

[@sander3425]

Your enthusiasm was so fun to watch. Thank you for the great videos, and especially the F1

[@DownieLive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@elwhagen]

I'm amazed by your storytelling and your positivity and curiosity all the time makes me smile for the entire episode. After this and your amazing narrowboating series you earned my subscription without hesitation. I wish you all the best!

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thank you!

[@joshstauber3335]

Wow Mike!!!!!! Once in a lifetime. Thank you for sharing with us. ✌️🍻🤩

[@michaelformaini7053]

Wow! What a difference 12 months can make! And you took Teese along - so generous! Had to catch up today as so much is happening in the world that we need a good news story such as yours to lift the spirit. Now you are a bit closer to Australia, I look forward to seeing you and Teese doing a lot more travel around here and, maybe, I'll get to see you here in Melbourne. Thanks for posting this awesome experience from Bahrain.🙂🙂😉🙂

[@ardel272]

I love your videos and can’t think of anyone more deserving of this awesome experience. Your first video to Bahrain was the reason I subscribed and can see how someone responded to it. Keep up the great work and travel we love to see it!!

[@DownieLive]

Thanks so much!

[@greghalter934]

What an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing!

[@TM-qj4yr]

Michael sir, you got yourself a well deserved upgrade in that year. Kudos!!!

[@jrb.bostonma]

That was awesome Mike! Congrats

[@katieandjoeonthego]

This was such a great video for so many reasons. Loved that you were able to share the moment with one of your best friends and your message at the end, A lot can happen in a year especially if you ask. Thank for the video! Can't wait for the next one. Cheers!

[@DownieLive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkTrombly]

I ❤ your sense of wonder, it always makes me cry. I LOVED your colorful shirts for go carting.

[@DownieLive]

We wanted to bring the fun to the go-karting!

[@caddyzig]

What an awesome experience! Such a great video.

[@acapellasanonymous]

My new favourite video of yours! Thanks for sharing that experience, unreal!

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thanks!

[@Ratyz1]

This is super cool what an amazing video and an amazing experience that you got to do with your friend.

[@ClintSimonsen]

Awesome Episode, you always just seem so excited. Keep having an amazing time. I'd like to see a bit more of Hong Kong

[@DownieLive]

Oh you will be pleasantly surprised in 24 hours ;)

[@varaderoafull]

This people know how to take care of their guests ❤

[@lynda.grace.14]

Wow! What an inspiration you are. I first "met" you posting obscure corners of Vancouver during that period of isolation we all shared. Then "hung out" with you as things opened up and you began to travel across Canada and all the rest of your adventures. And now this! Bravo! Congratulations. And it's not about the money--though the money is a sweet part of the equation. It's about the story. You've also given me a psychological boost with a small project of my own. Reminded me to persist, to ask and to risk.

[@DownieLive]

YES Lynda! Keep going and don't be afraid to ask ;) You've got this!

[@mell8831]

Your exit tag is the best!! Go Mike! So proud of you!

[@jurrassitol15]

I literally had a grin from ear to ear watching this…honestly you’re so incredibly lucky…and I’m glad that this is happening to someone who actually deserves it…it proves to show that if you don’t ask, you don’t get…and it doesn’t hurt to just ask…the worst they can say is no…can’t wait to see more F1 videos!

[@DownieLive]

Damn right! Thanks for coming along!

[@brechjeras3337]

omg i just watching your video. middle in the video and honestly i love that you get this!! i only send you happiness and joy. ilove your style of videos and just enjoy your f1 come along videos

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:09 Not The Disney Channel Pose haha that’s so cute

[@simarsimfy]

from being in awe with the flyway and disappointed by small screens and the language barrier during the race last year to actually being in the flyway and go-karting in bahrain, it feels personalll

[@lenn4320]

What an amazing and beautiful video. Thanks for the amazing positive attitude have gotten me watch weekly vids and daily to see what you been up to as a positive creator

[@DownieLive]

So glad! We've got more coming for you!

[@atomic_poppy]

What a charmed life, wow!

[@ChristopherB-]

Your video last year in Bahrain was the first video of yours I watched, and like the CEO of the circuit, I loved it! Seen lots of your older/newer vids since then, but this one had me smiling from the get-go! So happy for you!! Awesome video.

[@DownieLive]

Awesome, thank you! That makes me so happy to hear!

[@MrDespisedIcon]

Thank you so much for showing my beautiful country of Bahrain for a 2nd time to so many viewers. We would love to welcome you again. I hope you enjoyed your visit and make the F1 race attendance a staple in your calendar year.

[@Fablez1]

it would have been so awesome if you invited the german man from your bahrain video 11 months ago, he was so awesome and you guys again would be so cool. so glad for your first subscriber however!

[@DownieLive]

Sinan, Vincent and I went to Zandvoort together

[@rev.anthonyberry365]

Awesome and amazing video, I can't wait for more Adventures please keep up the amazing work we love your videos

[@DownieLive]

Thanks so much! I will keep making them!

[@qtaznbabygrl]

Are you going to cover the actual race? Love you and your videos!! Thank you

[@DownieLive]

F1 does much better coverage of the race than I ever could. You already know who won. I did however make a whole video about the Paddock Club and what that is like during the race weekend.

[@Supakoopaparatroopa]

Wow! This is AMAZING! This makes me love the Bahrain circuit even more! This is stuff you can’t get watching F1 on the official TV app! Thanks for bringing us along - and being such a great model of friendship with Trent. Now if only one of my friends would take a cue from this video 😂 someone take me to F1!!

[@louschweetz]

Love Trent's energy!! What a vibeee!!

[@jasonsmithy8472]

dude that is FIRE - congrats

[@Shane-xr3lb]

Amazing video Mike. I've loved watching your channel grow and I'm in awe of your success. Love ya bud!

Thanks so much Shane! It’s been a wild ride, that’s for sure!

[@MrSmileurena]

Wow it gave me goosebumps!!! Would love to visit Barhain one day !! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@DownieLive]

You should! It's a fantastic country!

[@iTalkWho]

I remember seeing you guys in the lobby at the hotel while I was waiting for my ride to the circuit. I've been excited since to see the content from the race!

[@DownieLive]

Oh that’s awesome! I hope it didn’t disappoint!

[@toddmackman6059]

Love your channel and excited to see the next but the Dakar and F1 👍 those are to me the best motor sports around

[@ytc6227]

F1 is not my thing but I loved this video. Just two bros being blown away by the trip. Bahrain looks like a cool place.

[@DownieLive]

Absolutely blown away! ☺️

[@lynchleanne4431]

Wowie! Appreciate the explanation video!!!

[@DownieLive]

Glad it was helpful!
