This year we have some new inclusions like Charles Leclerc's new girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux and Carlos Sainz new girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson.

​I love how Kym respects their privacy and the wishes of both the drivers and the girlfriends in whether he chooses to post pics of them at the races. This is why he is so respected by F1 fans as well.

[@milynn22]

LOL He literally busted Mick Schumacher's ex girlfriend when they had never confirmed to be a couple and he kept posting pictures of her without consent. Majority of female f1 fans dislike him for reasons like this, just saying.

[@jancam464]

@@milynn22 Hmm didn't know about that. Thanks for the tip. I'm actually surprised that he posted Charles and Carlos' girlfriends because neither of them have posted pics of them on their own social accounts. There are plenty of paparazzi pics of them all over though.

[@JO_98]

@@milynn22i don’t think he was told not to though, cause like he said in the video he was told not to and thus he did not

[@mannedi8665]

He has to do that or else he'll be despised. He sells signed copies of his photos

[@botoyger]

Agree 💯

Not just Zhou's girlfriend is a "mistery", but his parents too. He is really private about his life.

There can only be two reasons why she is being kept a secret: 1. She is a local celebrity in China; 2. She's not Asian and this would cause a stir back home.

[@johnwright6139]

I have been a fan for a while; good job! You today earned my respect. By honouring the wishes of the public figures who ask you not to publish their pictures when you likely could get a nice payday by doing so you demonstrate your ethics. Thank you.

[@KymIllman]

Cool, thanks!

[@wackojumey]

Piastri really grew on me this year, but after "meeting" Lily in this vid I am a fan!

[@lisavitale8410]

I love your KZbin channel, Kym!! You always provide such great content. Keep up the great work.

[@KymIllman]

Thank you! Will do!

[@SuperPassionflower]

always such a pleasure to see your vids. it brings a bit of light heartedness to the world of F1, is how I look at it and content is always with so much detail in a pleasant and respectful way. Great photos as well! Makes a perfect cross over between pure sports reporting and a bit of show biz & entertainment. Your remark on how F1 drivers have become superstars in the league of ao rockstars, oh I can picture that. Pretty much the same in the world of top tennis and probably a handfull of other sports. I don't doubt there will be countless stories on how far ladies (and possibly also boys) would go in an attempt to get really close to their chosen star. From my own recollections having worked in the recording industry late 70's until early 90's I have seen plenty of such attempts.

[@regularpotato]

They get replaced so fast. I'm not judging but how do you move on from a relationship lasting a couple of years within like a month

[@Artois2011]

Too true!!

[@carolyntreadwell6298]

They had proberly checked out before being man enouth to confront the end of the relationship with the girlfreind!

[@rodrigodelpeon2727]

Hi Kym, greetings from Ensenada, México. I just want to to say that if the background of your video is your home it is simply gorgeous and extra classy. Congrats.

[@sidrens1047]

Kym not being involved in F1 for very long has done an incredible job of promoting himself, You Tube channel and his photographs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I worked in F1 from 2006-2018 and never heard of him until I came across his channel which is really good!

[@KymIllman]

I only started in 2017 so thanks for finding me.

[@teamredgutz399]

Kym’s work ethic is second to none. It is one of the main reasons that I follow his content. My wife and I go to about 4 F1 races a year and no one works harder on a race weekend than he does. I always like people who hustle or as he puts it, stay passionate. And it pays off with stellar content.

[@MachineHead784]

Classy move with Zhou - nice work Kym

[@KymIllman]

Glad you liked it!

[@Rugras.]

But now I'm even more intrigued

[@marias1206]

Carmen is Spanish not British and the daughter of Kelly is called Penelope😊

[@kimihill1596]

Yup @kymillman Penelope not Stephanie

[@teamredgutz399]

P as she is known has definitely been made famous by Max’s Team Redline videos of her constantly trying to distract him when he’s doing his Sim racing and his patient reactions which so contrary to what you would expect given his intensity on track. Those are the best.

[@ranozziinlove]

Max wants everything tailored, he even has an F1 driver's daughter... practicality, yes sir! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Katarina2425]

Kym, Heidi Berger is Austrian-Portuguese. She speaks Portuguese and has appeared in some soap operas on Portuguese television. And Kelly's daughter is called Penelope.

[@KymIllman]

Correct. Thanks.

[@pmp1337]

I'm Portuguese and I had no idea, and I knew she was the daughter of Gerhard Berger. No idea her mother was Portuguese.

[@Katarina2425]

Nunca a vi em nenhuma novela, podes dar exemplos? Aprendi algo novo hoje haha

[@sunflowermyeyes9758]

It made me laugh when you called some of them ‘private’ - wouldn’t call any of the young girlfriends ‘private’ - Zhou’s girlfriend and Mick’s Ex is what privacy looks like imo

[@madinatuleshova6292]

Zhou's and Mick's partners don' t get the same attention as some of the other wags. Some of them are private, but the media and fans still manage to take pics of them and share online, which makes privacy difficult

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@itsquix1111]

zhou having a girlfriend was not expected tbh. good for him

[@vivienb182]

Of course he has. He mentioned it in an interview before but he wants to keep it private

[@MrRakan220]

I wouldn't say surprising. The man is a handsome F1 driver who comes from a super rich family. The surprise would be him not having a girlfriend

You could make a 2024 Alonsos Girlfriends calendar, if the year had 16 months... I'M KIDDING! lovely photos as always.. and woman

If she were the daughter or grand daughter of a high rank Chinese officer, or national entrepreneur owner, or something like that, they would surely not want to reveal anything about her. Yet no one is having any clues so just a wide guess, but if that's the case, it would be expected to be kept secret.
