Why MONACO F1 is the peak of motorsport!

[@paulmerritt418]

Kym, thanks for bringing the Monaco Grand Prix to our homes in such an entertaining way. Your videos always leave me with a smile.

[@KymIllman]

My pleasure!!

[@s4rest123]

Oh yay they just uploaded the Weekend Warm Up also. I guess they just accidentally left it off the F1 app weekend schedule. .

[@deliberation6022]

That pic of Lec and Nico smiling as you took a picture of the cute shoes Nico daughters has on is a gem. Hope your Monaco goes great!

[@aryotaheri7421]

Can’t believe I’m just discovering this channel now. Mate, you have some of the best F1 content on YT, this is a much better behind the scenes look than anything DTS ever gives us. Cheers mate, good on ya, keep it coming

[@markstewart9666]

How you haven't got a million subscribers is beyond me, these vids are fantastic, almost as good as watching the race!

[@KymIllman]

Please tell all of your mates Mark

[@AdrianDowthwaite]

8:09 Duracell bunny clinging on for dear life to the white strip, the Williams car is going so fast! Fantastic crisp photo by Kym Illman.

[@paullauer1363]

In North America we have the Energizer Bunny so Duracell can't use their bunny mascot here.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

Energizer has the bunny. That's when pigs fly.😅 You know , when Williams wins this race.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

​@@paullauer1363 That's doesn't look like a bunny to me, certainly not the one Energizer's TM is.

[@teamredgutz399]

Monaco looks great. Next year we will do the Imola-Monaco doubleheader

[@ajinkyakhanzode890]

Great sneak peek into how Kym wrangles his “Stay Passionate!!” marks!!

[@MarkoVukovic0]

And, not one but four ladies!

[@mj7791]

You really are producing nice videos of behind the scenes. Liked & subscribed 👍🏻

[@KymIllman]

Thanks for the sub!

[@s4rest123]

Glad you posted Kym since F1 didn’t have “Weekend Warm Up” show this week. Thanks for helping get us excited for the upcoming race weekend.

[@LuisGarcia-yh6zr]

Yup! Kym’s team more organized than F1 and Sky Sports combined, better informed and better prepared.

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

They just posted it

[@mattblack6736]

Official F1 stuff is rather tame as they do not bash their teams. Zero mention of Horner sexy crimes!

[@Cherry-bc5jf]

Matt Black, you nailed it!👍

[@dieseIboy]

Yes they did. They have one every weekend. Bell end.

[@razvansuta7122]

Watching this 2 min after posting 🔥😁. Big fan! Was a pleasure to say hi in Imola Kym

[@KymIllman]

The pleasure was mine

[@annaharpster5664]

Great videos Kym! My husband and I are living vicariously enjoying Monaco through you and your son. Grazie mille!!!

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Excellent tour Kym! Thanks for the behind the seen look, it is always appreciated! Quick question, have you ever done a video on the hospitality suits? I am fascinated by how they can be so large and yet "fold up" for travel! Staying passionate, Bryan.

[@timparsons8515]

Selfie?? You rock star!!! Loving these glimpses into the mysteries of Monaco 👍🏻

[@juliswift]

Your videos are awesome. No-one else covers what you cover. Your videos add so much value to F1. Thanks Kym!!

[@KymIllman]

Glad you like them!

[@M-Y-G-A]

Thank you Kym for providing us this amazing footages and really exclusive view of the Monaco Grand Prix.

[@paulc99]

I'm glued to these videos.

[@enner-racing]

great behind the scenes stuff .. love your voice . you should become F1 TV host … cheers

[@ntlakaniphomsongelwa]

I love how all the drivers know you kym❤😊😊

[@mrroq24]

Well done Kym the in-depth of your research was very informative. I appreciate you.

[@KymIllman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bernardtan3639]

Kym, amazing video👍🏻👍🏻 Watching your video made up for not able to be there. Big Thank You for sharing. Cheers! Mate🥂

[@Nathan-qc4gz]

Could watch a video twice this length of you just giving all the happenings 👍

[@JayEnn-p6b]

Making some serious advances at the end. Good for you Kym.

[@Huckenbacher]

Love the behind the scenes stuff! Thank you.

[@davidcorbett62]

It’s a few years since I have been to the GP having fallen out of love of F1, but the last time I was there coming down from the railway station was row after row of stalls selling F1 mementos or scarves hats polo shirts etc. Be nice to see that again ie from just the ordinary fans perspective, me I just think the drivers are pampered pets now who winge at the slightest thing

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

F1 sports paradise❤❤🎉🎉

[@kostasamarantinis6051]

Happy man ☺

[@jordangdahl]

I feel like you're the guy in the paddock everybody loves...Great videos my guy!

[@KymIllman]

Thanks for the feedback, my friend.

[@ArmaniStudio]

Kym great video as usual my friend

[@mark82421]

Great video, I watch yours now as my routine into the F1 weekend 🙂 loving it, wandering if I should buy a 'bucket' ......

[@simondavies438]

Cheers Kym🍻... Great video..😎

[@KymIllman]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@simondavies438]

Looking forward to more Monaco content from your good self 👍

[@fepatton]

The Duracell bunny is cute, but the "coppertop" on the intake is genius.

[@bobskiale]

well done kym wonderful as always

[@system87music]

Thx Kym, great content as usual!! Let's go, Leclerc for P1!!!

[@migy5031]

Top content as usual, Kym! I feel like I’m there, even if I can’t afford to be. 😉

[@paulsven7923]

Brilliant as usual

[@raydriver7300]

You are rich and famous. Have you ever thought of moving? I loved that video, Kym and it’s the first time I’ve heard you play the piano. Loved the ending too 🌞

[@LandoPro49]

LOL I actually clocked your comment on "there's $1B in boats here" and was like no way it's that low.. Thanks for the correction! :D

[@bigboy0625]

Double Kym this morning I'm so lucky 👍🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧

[@claytonknight3078]

Kym where could you possibly go on vacation? Probably home right.Great stuff!!!

[@vincentpienaar9740]

Enjoy your programme. Pretty cool.

[@deepaksrinivasmondal]

Putting Carlos in between Oscar and George is funny!

[@christianwestling2019]

Awesome videos!

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@itsallGudmin]

Love the Walking "real time" bit up to the media center kym... More of those raw shots pls 🤌🤌

[@terryrobertson8382]

I really suspected your estimate of the worth of the Yachts in the harbor in the previous video might have been a bit low. Happy Hunting and have a great weekend.

[@billB101]

Great content thanks.

[@apophisstr6719]

We're back to Kym's photography wonderland!

[@TristanBurgener]

thanks for the daily uploads! much more entertaining stories than the guys sitting in chairs at homes

[@KymIllman]

More to come!

[@ShotByDale]

KYM GOT THAT RIZZ AT THE END

[@damsted]

Hey Kym, I love following F1 through your lens and storytelling. Thank you for doing great videos. A question of curiosity, which camera and microphone do you use for the handheld walking sequences? I really dig the stabilization and the close mic sound, and would love to get that for my self. Best from Denmark.

[@keithhooper5965]

Been many times. It doesn’t have to be mega expensive! Do go !!

[@KymIllman]

Is that for real?

[@andrethorneloe7099]

Top notch - Kym

[@schmoab]

Hey LIberty-add a bye week before Monaco next year, move practice back to Thursday and give the teams time to set up!

[@MostAmazingEverything]

Would love to see you mention which yacht is the biggest there and how much it cost in the next video. They each have their own name and can be found on a marine traffic app/website. The same way you show the supercars and their prices it would be cool to do it for the yachts aswell 👌 Once again thanks for posting Kym, almost too many to watch recently but I still haven't missed one ❤️

[@KymIllman]

Will do!

[@jameshill8711]

Love the ending Kym when you ask the girls if they are attending the Yacht..

[@redd605]

I wish it was 4 days again, that the thing I miss ,it starting on Thursday .

[@ajinkyakhanzode890]

You look unhappy about the rain, rain is good Kym! rain is good!

[@MarkoVukovic0]

haha, except for the drivers.

[@Warsasquatch]

Go to Montreal too

[@michaellujan9440]

Can we get a Kym's guide of things to do in Monaco? I'm sure you know the best spots!!

[@AbelinVegas]

Kym, have you done a video of your race day play by play? Enjoyed your walk through video the other day of Monaco and made me think, how much walking does Kym do on Race Day to get images from all over the track. TY

[@RetailRipper]

duracell throwing shade at energizer, using a pink bunny, but instead powered by duracell.

"Rudimentary food" Becoming a real snob Kym!

CHECCOOOOOOOO😂😂❤❤❤ COMON FOR THE WIN BABY!!!!😂❤😂❤😂❤

[@34Media]

Any chance you’ve had a play with the canon R1 yet 😊

[@what.i.see.photography7077]

For info: Mooring for GP weekend, 40m Yacht $37,000 USD !!!!

[@Qwepzy]

The Duracell product placement hasto be the best in F1 ever?

[@michaellau2544]

6:37 lol😂

[@timaz1066]

Stay passionate

[@johndansby3620]

Kym Illman, such a flirt with the ladies! Great insights and sights…much thx!

[@TeamDive2795]

Can you leave your stuff (like batteries on charge etc) in the media centra? Will they be there when you get back?

[@jrrosberg]

I get the umbrella reference, and what that's about........an old video

[@gnarleypunkroker5]

the thing is, we had 12 teams when i first got into f1, so i'm sure they can make room for an 11th.

[@joelnzioka7658]

2:29 🤣🤣🤣

[@trainsholli]

Ferrari Las Vegas ladies, I’m in Vegas too. Can I join your F1 group?

[@pimjcb9964]

If Max is P2 or P3 qualifying. The race will be interesting since Max will most definitely look for every opportunity to go for it. If Max is P1. He will win, since his defense is incredible.

[@TheDevnul]

If Max is P1 he’ll finish P1, there’s no overtaking in Monaco.

[@pimjcb9964]

@@TheDevnul Leclerc had pole in 22, and Perez won that race from P3.

[@3k3k3]

The peak.. ahh , not really. But a true classic.

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

It is, but it is also a boring race: only qualifying is great. Thanks for the videos, Kym.

[@zaynayub3021]

5 Sec penalty for Estaban Ocons fan

[@JCDenton95]

It’s the binnacle of motorspoorts

[@MarkoVukovic0]

lol, you might want to check your spelling.

[@kwilsxn]

Esteban not holding his umbrella makes sense... Albon tho? Do better gentlemen. Do better.

[@DrAlex82]

Who is this beautiful lady besides George Russell? 3:47 🤩

[@NeboReve]

Pit Laneeee

[@x-90]

It may be the peak of Motorsports but it shows everything that’s bad about Motorsports Little overtaking For the rich only Bad racing product Horrible street course Complaints from drivers about the actual racing product Qualifying is the most interesting part about Monaco tbh. The Indy 500 on the Same day appeals much more into getting fans into Motorsports Overtaking For the casual fan and every fan Decent racing product On a purpose built track Little complaints about racing product Cool qualifying format and bump day

[@juliodabarber1]

No and stay passionate today editor? (Kyms son)

[@KymIllman]

My son doesn’t edit the videos, that would be Jack from Perth. He did include a stay passionate at the end though!

[@Postbus22]

Please for your own health, don't pause at 6:06

[@menzincube4854]

Kym rizzing the ladies

[@Boxer1250RT]

Getting better than Sky and F1's own broadcast for sure. They should pay you the big $$$ instead of those other Clowns.

[@soundscape26]

Peak qualifying sessions absolutely but as for races... It's clear F1 outgrew Monaco in a lot of aspects.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

I disagree, the race after Monaco, on Sunday, is the pinnacle. The Indianapolis 500. Monaco is cool though.

[@Braselton21]

Is winning Monaco GP or LeMans 24hr more Prestigious? Like the Wimbledon of Motorsport.

[@63JB63]

Magic Max is going to win again!

[@KymIllman]

It would be seriously impressive he managed that, but hard to gain places here!

[@TheDevnul]

I loathe how reporters try and promote this race. The worse are the TV announcers screaming like there’s going to be an overtake. How much is the principality paying F1 to keep this race on the schedule?

[@KymIllman]

I wish.

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Ironically Monaco pay the least out of any circuit to host the Grand Prix there (about $20m a year - source: Bloomberg)

[@linbinnash]

Disagree, overtake is virtually impossible on this track it's one of the boring races of the season. The finishing order is already decided on qualifying.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIII]

I am pretty much sure Esteban Ocon paid that lady to be there

[@gracechadi]

*Prince Charles for the win 🏆.*

[@thetruebatman4632]

The peak of Motorsport… but yet the race is so uneventful every year lol.

[@jiminycrint]

Monaco is the most unique motorsport event in the world but it’s certainly not the ‘peak’ of motorsport. Not by a long shot. Spa, Monzo, Silverstone, the Indy 500 are far more significant racing events. Monaco is usually a boring race for anyone not swanning around on a super yacht. No overtaking, the winner often decided by qualification.

[@nolanpeters5462]

No matter the excuse, if I see a healthy and able young man having an umbrella held over his head by a small woman, I get mad. Just carry your own umbrella ffs. It makes the drivers look like losers imo

[@michaeldellorso889]

Silverstone is the peak
