What happens BEFORE an F1 RACE?

[@KymIllman]

Order one of my new F1 Bucket Hats at www.kymillman.com/store/bucket-hats/

[@marcus_programmer]

I have a question, Does the medical at beginning of first lap follow behind F1 cars through the whole of first lap? Coz F1 are too quick they might lap him. What usually happens?

[@manfredmanuel4547]

Your videos are much better to watch for F1 BTS than Netflix' Drive to Survive

[@KymIllman]

HiGh praise indeed. Thanks.

[@migy5031]

Kym this information is gold! I’ve been to races but never with that kind of access. Great topeek behind the curtain . Cheers. 👍

[@MayhexxGT]

Your pit lane photos at 6:54 are gorgeous.

[@randallvargas4457]

8:45 My reaction when the pit wall says "we are checking". The info popups you include are a great touch!

[@tubaboy10]

Near coughed out my morning coffee on 03:29 to explain the drivers parade...🤣 Also, for the drivers parade in SG race, I noticed that the cars used for the Ferrari and Mercedes drivers are always their works brand.

[@danielwey]

2:03 there were many others - Jacques Villeneuve, Farina, Fangio, Jackie Stewart...

[@seashackf1]

You left out Jacques Villeneuve who won 4 races in his rookie year. He also got pole first his first race.

[@SatoruSunlight]

A pretty glaring omission.

[@wolfecanada6726]

A far better representation for Canada than our current driver on the grid.

So what happens to the medical car after lights out? Does it duck into the pit lane?

[@KymIllman]

Yes. Sits in the safety/medical car garage or just in front of it.

Wonering if any of your fellow photographers use a Leica and if you ever produce any black and white images.

[@KymIllman]

A couple have them, but only use them for odd shots not for track action

[@sam.victor470]

Lewis Hamilton's sartorial elegance in the pre-race 'Paddock', leaves much to be desired by many. However, he's never been known to care, whatever the opinions of all-and-sundry

[@jeffstephens5266]

$55 USD for a bucket hat come on !! $20 USD max, says a guy with many quality bucket hats

[@KymIllman]

$20 if I get 10,000 produced, not 100!!!
