Spoiler: They leave Edit: I think this channel gives so much insight behind the scenes that it makes you appreciate the sport more!!! I love F1 and I love this channel. Yeehaw!

"And then it's time for the Austrian and Dutch national anthems" lol

07:25 Haha, Kym you're funny....

Thank you very much Kym for this detailed summary of what goes on at an F1 event. I understood there was a lot.....but to hear about it is amazing. 1st time I know of that anyone has done a video about this. Keep it coming mate!

thanks for the behind the scenes!

And what about you Kym? I know you prepare videos after a race as well as download your pics, but I'm going to give you an assignment, should you choose to accept it. One you may like and one that will test your photography skills. For some reason these past weeks I have been watching Isle of Man TT videos and that is a truly spectacular event. Last night a YT videos showed some still photography pics and I immediately thought....Kym could do that! The Isle of Man TT is June 1 to June 8 this year and falls between Monaco and Canada. What say you. Something a little different but still racing and something for you to try.

"What happens after F1 race?" ⇒ "LOSS." 100% agree. Ever since Japanese GP finished, I feel loss😂 Kym, thanks always for telling what's happening behind the most glorious F1 scenes.

Great work! This is the content I want to see. I have always been curious what kind of priority the various press orgs have in relation to each other.

Enjoying the 'behind the scenes' type videos Kym, thanks

Having worked tech at many races, including the first F1 race in Austin, I had somewhat a better idea than many but I still learned things, thanks.

Love this behind the scenes content.

Great insight mr Illman 👍

Thank you for sharing Kym.

Thoroughly enjoy your channel! ♥️📸🤘🏽 I follow & support our local music scene & have a great appreciation for our many incredible live music photographers 🙌🏽…So I was delighted to eventually see your channel pop up after I seriously got into watching F1 a few yrs back. It certainly gives fans of F1 a better understanding of pretty much everything surrounding an F1 race in general + all those extra yummy bits of info you kindly add! You’ve shouted out the main photographers in F1, but I honestly don’t feel the need…… You totally impressed me & had me hitting that ‘subscribe’ button after I watched your ‘run through the entire track’ video of the L.V. GP….love Vegas, a place I know well but haven’t visited in years…not since they built the Sphere, so I was particularly interested in that race…thorough & fascinating info on how they built it all with updates! This lead me to view previous & subsequent vids you posted on that race….and the rest is history! Cheers from 🇨🇦!

Very informative! Thank you…

Great content Kym.

When I was at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix, I was sitting in the Moss grandstand, and on the last lap, I saw a bunch of people rushing towards the track, and a couple of those blokes actually ENTERED the track while the race was still running, even though it was behind the safety car.

Excellent video, and has earnt a subscription. I have a fair bit of binging to do by the looks of it.

Love the scarf 🧣 you’re wearing, Kym! I was a bit distracted by it as I was wondering 🤔 where to find.

Brilliant as ever Kym, thank you :)

Thank you for sharing all the insights with us . This is what makes you different from the other content creators . Keep sharing good works

Thanks for the video. Would you fancy showing us your musical instruments and giving us a sample of you playing them while you talk F1?

Very interesting... thank you, Kym!

Love yoyr content, sincerest thank you

Love this stuff!

Love the content so far this season. Really dig the deeper "behind the scenes" presentations. Been tuning in to Kym for many F1 seasons... and this channel is simply "part of it" now... part of the entire F1 experience. I noticed Kym in the F1 race coverage for TV at Japan and it was like spotting a driver. Hahaha!

What about Maxie, Maxie (from Penelope) at the last race when the Dutch anthem was playing!

Top content. TY.

this is a good video, well put together. and for anyone that doesn't know, the best way to see behind the scenes is to watch Ted's Notebook

Love this vid!!

I love your videos!!! Oh yeah, pics as well!!

G’day Kym. Keep keeping up the good work 🌞

😮 Kym, could you make a video covering access? I have managed to access the paddock via contacts in the teams but there has to be a pedestrian tunnel ie Silverstone and Spa but there wasn’t access at COTA or Shanghai. Any other intel would be great

Kym, your really banging out the uploads these days..

Awesome video Kym.

Love this, thanks!

A question I have had for years! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

8:30 Thanks for the insight as always Kym!! Anyway I'm just curious about the media pen, do drivers visit all posts in the media pen area or just simply visit one or two posts?

I’ve always marvelled at how they manage to set up, take down and move all the team hospo and garages. Even the cars! Does F1 have its own planes?

I love your videos Kym

Sky Sports Teds notebook shows the post race situation. Like last day of school term people are packing away for fast airfreight between factory and next race etc. Some drivers etc are slow to leave and in other cases its a sprint to the private jets and choppers

Love the videos, best f1 content

Good video - thanks.

This was such a nice explanation that I was extremely disappointed when it ended! I wish you could have spoken about more, even up to the point when the last person locks the gate of the circuit! Lovely video!

Cooldown room aka Max post GP podcast.

Already know this is gonna be a good one!

What a joy it was to watch George win, I hope we see it again this season!

Love the variety of your videos Kym!

and some journalists even stay in the media center until it closes (at least that is what I experienced in the Zandvoort media center, close to 23.00)

I always thought parc ferme meant: "park firmly" lmao

Love your vids Kym...but...what is up with the scarves?

Very interesting. Thanks

Thanks. How soon after the races do the drivers/teams/photographers leave? Is it the same night?

hey kym, make a video about the timing system of F1.

Hi Kym good stuff, has DTS given you any airtime or interview? Been a few seasons now so can't remember. 🏎🏁👍

Stay passionate!!

Thanks for the info. -- BAK --

Surprisingly interesting video.

I knew they were kept busy after the race, especially the spanners, but I have even more respect for them all now!

2:51 giving you the evil eye, Kym?

Kimi drinking on his boat, legendary.

"time for the austrian and dutch anthems" hahaha

Time for the Dutch and Austrian anthems 😂😂😂😂 RB has shown us dust.

Do the drivers sometimes help with the pack up?

Are there any Retna photogs there?

Could you do a tour of your house? It looks pretty cool

Just imagine driving out in a F1 car 😂

Where did your recent video about meeting some of the most important people that help to power every F1 team disappear to? All that is left is a reference to a short preview of the video on Instagram.

We always see when they got their weight after the race . But do they weight them before the race ? I’ve never seen videos or photos .

Kym what happened to the last video? Save to watch it later but now it is gone???

So, everyone usually flies home after the race..do all the drivers fly private jets or do some still fly commercial?

4:24 the perspective on that photo, the man wearing black looks like he's holding to top of the Haas rear tyre ROFL

Kimi straight to the hot tub was, and will always be, epic 😎

2:07 What could Checo have been doing at the FIA office?

Next...how do F1 teams pack up and load onto DHL cargo planes?

Kym i saw u in bahrain

Did anything ever come of Carlos throwing his gloves after Australia? He was weighed with gloves but there’s no way they got those back out of the crowd so quickly, so must’ve been replacements no? I hope nothing did come of it, but an interesting note? Surely that was a bit naughty! Did he get a reprimand or anything?

7:25 I remember I watched a video prior to the 22 season called something like "F1 for dummies" and the running joke for the host was "and then Max Verstappen wins the race" and I thought it was hilarious at the time and (for me at least) a bit of wishful thinking. I had no idea those words would become so prophetic. And yes, even as a Dutchman and Max/RB fan I long for more battles at the front. Still waiting on a Max signed Kym Illman shot to pruchase Sir, will it ever come or has this already been done before I discovered your channel and am I just simply s**t out of luck?

👍 What's with the scarfe ?

I reckon Kym had a few wicked hickeys on his neck when he made this video. Those chicks in Japan. Tut tut tut. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Kym, who is the female FIA official at 3:33 who runs around after every race? She tries so hard to get those top 3 in line but all they want to do is celebrate. I remember it used to be a tall gentleman before her.

As i said before you are a walking f1pedia cheers mate.Gowra😊

Watch Ted’s notebook. Shows what happens post race.

lovely vid -- grand prix F1 has been going a while --------- but level of professionalism is impressive at all levels from tech to regs to marketing --------------- /// the actual race belies what I supsect is a very well oiled machine ...... good example monacco over a week city becomes like an F1 city catering stands roads parking tv ..... two days later all gone like it never happened .... not so much as a cigarette butt or piece of litter ..... slick ... /// do like kyms inside out silk scarf ...... slick .....

When do they get a post race shower?

Given how boring F1 has been this year, I welcome anything new by Kym Illman, great video, faith restored.

I was wondering if the national anthem was played twice when the winner and the constructor have the same nationality? 🤔

I don´t get why the drivers have to take the piece of paper after being weighed. It´s 2024 so surely they should just weigh a driver and assign it to a drivers name.

F1 explained, go no further, thanks Kym!

19 views and 19 likes is wild

Would you jump at the chance if Getty images offered you a job?

Sounds like the guy who finishes fourth is the real winner

*Charles, Daniel, Carlos + 2024 = 🏆🏆🏆*

Scarf indoors is dumb fashion

“Sometimes…max doesn’t win”😂

And what about you? At what point do you decide to pull up stumps and head back to your accommodation?

I dont get why there are so many interviews..i think i watch just one...Is there anybody who will listen to them all? i can't imagine

Kym...who's the girl? At 3:34 you comment on everyone's role except the girl. I've seen her on TV enough times to know she has a reason to be there but you breezed right by her. Fill us in please.

Cute little hearts. 😎
