This brought tears to my eyes. My son has been the light of my life and I’ve been keeping a journal of messages to him as he’s grown (he’s 3 now). It’s part future letter to him, part life lesson, part tribute to how much I love him.
I was tickled to see you’ve done your own type of “future messages” to your own son. Great content ❤
Cheers
Kym, that is the most spectacular gift I have ever seen. Congrats on the beautiful family and being a phenomenal father
You are so kind
You have truly outdone yourself with this video, Kym. Emotional, informative and fun! The blooper at the end was spectacular 😂
It’s got it all
0:13 smooth transition there kym 😎
Man I wish the best to VB and Tiffany. VB seems to really like Aus. 😃
Kym, hello from Utah! What a fabulous gift to give to your son on his 21st birthday and ultimately bringing him to tear! What an awesome sentiment! Thank you for putting a feeling of warmth in my soul today and thanks for your great F1 videos! PEACE!
Kym I really love all of your videos, but this one felt even more special than the rest. Absolutely loved the Melbourne "tour" and would really be keen to see more content like this about Australia. Particularly would love a "tour" of Perth!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh. My. Heart. Kym, that is the second best gift you could give your son. What a wonderful thing to do! Each word will be imprinted on his heart for the rest of his life. ❤️
I love the vid, Kym! Always looking forward to your content and F1 coverage. You're such an amazing photographer and I'm jealous of how many drivers you get to meet and talk with them (and also being respectful to them and not making them uncomfortable with either questions or making the photos). Have a great day and let's hope for an amazing GP this sunday :)
Bottas at the end was a fantastic
New Zealand here. We'd like to claim Valtteri Bottas as a Kiwi. He spent some of his off season in NZ, and infamously walked through a prestigious winery here in his speedos! And mullet.
That is THE MOST amazing gift! ❤️ I teared up just watching the footage of him opening the box.
I read about it in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book 23 years ago.
You are an amazing husband and Father Kym. That present has not got a price on it. It is a present that will last a lifetime. Your sons reaction just shows what beautiful kind children you and your wife have raised.
That's amazing gift! Happy Birthday to your son! 💞🎉🎁
What an absolutely incredible video! From the birthday (amazing gift), to the travel experience, Oscar signing, Melbourne tour, and Valtteri gin promo. Honestly, your content just continues to get better!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yet another great video Kym, can't wait to see all your Aussie content over the weekend 😀
Such a great video kym. I love the valterri pose at the end at the bar😂
Super video Kym ! Thank you …
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video mate watched it twice my favorite part was the Valtteri content he just seems like a Awesome person 👊🏻💯
Best wishes be safe Dennis Campbell Indianapolis 🏁🏎💨
See you after Miami.
How lucky your 21 year old son is. What a phenomenal gift
Wow great video Kym I am loving these videos.
I'm so glad!
Always look forward to your videos, keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Is no one gunna talk about the sick transition in the beginning of the video?
One of my favorite videos of yours
Thanks
This is my favorite of your videos. Love it.
Another great city review Kym,it goes on my to do list,congratulations on the son’s birthday,have fun in Melbourne
Kym, all I can say is that your a modern day artist and an innovator in the F1 world. Keep up the great work that goes into these video's, we enjoy every minute of them.
Thanks, will do!
That travel information part was excellent. Would love to see it for every (nearest) city of the tracks - maybe even a whole video series? :)
watching this after the madness that was the Aussie F1 - great video Kym, and quite a memorable race it was that will be remembered for rather interesting and entertaining reasons. Pity there's a 4 week gap now till Baku.
Oscar seems like a really down to earth one of a kind guy..
Hi Kym! It was so cool seeing you and saying 'stay passionate' to you and your family on Thursday night in the pit lane of Albert Park. Love your videos, and I can now say I've seen you in person, shaken your hand and spoken to you. Hope you had a good stay in Melbourne, but I have to say Perth is beautiful too.
I am such a huge Valtteri fan… it’s so nice to see him thriving and happy with Tiffany- I think he’d make a great Aussie!
Amazing video on our city! Also that 21st present was crazy. Will be at the F1 today, should be fun and might spot you guys running around!
Cracking vid Kym!! I'd love to know more about your full journey (business etc).
Great video no great experience thanks for taking us on the journey.
Good to see you've got your local on board in Melbourne for the 2-3 mins of local content film. Great footage and commentary, and can't wait to see it evolve through the rest of the races.
Many thanks!
You continue to up your game Kym, well done!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them!
I love the style of this video and how it gives a different perspective to some of the other content other creators make around f1. Really cool to see.
I appreciate that!
I’ve just been to melbourne for uni and i love it here
Kim, I have followed and watched your vlog over the last couple of years and this is really good stuff! 7 Stars!
Thanks.
Thanks!
That’s your best video kym well done

Kym, that is the most beautiful loving gift for your son! Beyond a great photographer, you must be a hell of an amazing dad!
Nice portrayal of your family and son's gift you couldn't have done a better job Kym . Also the pre race event youve created of Oscar signing your prints cheers.Gowra
It was a pleasure to look after you and the fam on your flight Kym, didn't know it was your son's 21st, we could have sung HB over the PA😂...next time🎉...cheers Mitch
It was my pleasure.
Well done Kym. Thanks
Love your channel. Started following for the F1 content. Enjoying it much more still with, not just F1 related, but also numerous varied other subject matter, especially your travel videos ... how do you find the time for your numerous content 😮!?!
I don’t stop working.
AMAZING😉
Wow Melbourne looks beautiful, had no idea
It really is!
Kym, I must say that was very heart warming watching you and your son reading the letters. Happy Birthday kiddo! See you in Miami? Hopefully!
Kym, that is such cool plan about letter to son ! Keep up good Videos, Big fan Clive from Vancouver Canada.
It’s a huge time investment but having done it for both boys I’m delighted it’s complete.
Wow that pulled the heart strings… what an amazing family.. good to see you rocking a Panerai instead of the Rolex.. I’ll keep an eye out for you Quali day (today)
Hey mate! We laughed out loud what you said about Qantas. We literally started to watch your video from a break from numerous Qantas phone calls after they changed our flights to Italy in a couple weeks! Haha! PS, might see you in a few weeks, we are travelling to Imola, Monaco and Barcelona!!! Keep the top work up mate, love it!
You’re a good man and obv a great role model and father Kym . Love the videos always .
I appreciate that
Congratulations 🎉 May all your bday wishes come true1
I took a photo with you Kym, in the F1 Australia paddock! Remember me, the Ferrari kid.
1:30 Salty Kim is a surprise. Usually so positive!
Fantastic videos that add to the magic of the F1 weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it
Car, Rolex? No, it's a box of letters! 😢 He doesn't know whether to cry tears of joy or sadness on this one!
3:47 We enjoy all your videos ✌️😁
Great content, as always!
Loved the jokes "slowest stairs in the world"🤣
Cheers
I gotta say Bottas looks so good with the new look.
Writing letters every year is such an inspirational idea! I have 2 young sons and I will start doing this for them now 🙏 love the content keep up the great work 💪
Yes! Thank you!
Waooo gonna start doing that for my daughter!! Amazing dad!
I was in tears, you're a great dad Kym.
Really love your voiceovers
Muchos Gracias
Wow! Kym, a most amazing gift!!! ❤
Is that green tunnel light indicating the speed limit or the speed at which traffic is moving? I wonder if speeds drop below the limit it goes yellow, or if very slow, red. I work in transportation and haven’t seen this. I plan to discuss with my mates at work. Fascinating! Just like all of your content. 😘 Thank you! This is my favorite video of yours. So very diverse, interesting, and informative!
My fav f1 channel ❤❤
And also someone needs to give me driver jet codes to watch 😂
I managed to grab a moment with Kym on Thursday in the paddock and he instantly starting telling me about his sons awesome work on recent videos.
A great bloke and a great father too, lovely to meet you Kym 👍
Rock on!
Looks like Valteri will be making the most of the Australian GP too.
Any more you can do with bottas would be very welcome.
LOVE your family ❣️
Kym how do you set up the arrangement with the drivers to sign photos? I assume they are compensated? I’m very curious because I might like to start doing this with drivers in the states.
What gift Kym your amazing
Kym,
I completely agree about Qantas. They used to be the best airline in the world. But now you aren’t sure if your flight will be cancelled, whether you are in the right area of the airport or whether you will get consistent service. Their staff look tired all the time. Probably because they are having to make up for the lack of service provided at other checkpoints. Or because they constantly have to explain themselves.
Great video though. Love your content. Keep it up.
Here in the US, we also have problems with calls going to call centers out of country! Except ours are usually directed to India
Good to see a NZ beer on tape in Aussie. Little Creatures
Degraves Street during Covid-19 many shop in that street closed that there’s so many new shops now..
Oscar seems like a mega chiller
Great video! Must be nice to do your job at home with family around. Melbourne looks like a great city.
By the way, Melbourne is represented on the mobile racing game Real Racing 3 with a street circuit mounted digitally across those roads and it goes right next to the Flinders Street Station. Never been to Australia but I can quite easily go around that track around Google Maps due to years of gaming, hahaha
I can not agree with you more Kym Qantas has gone to the pack
I agree with the Qantas sentiment. Usually travelled with Virgin around Australia and sometimes internationally, it was great even without entertainment screens. Good support staff and on board.
Had to travel Qantas to Tokyo as there was a direct Brisbane to Tokyo flight. It was an absolute nightmare, they deleted one of our JAL flights and we could only get it back through insurance and not through their support. Also saw the horrendous stories about missing luggage with them
It was unfortunate, because their on plane staff are wonderful.
Middle park 🥰
21 years ago - Kimi Raikkonen made his debut for McLaren, Alonso moved to Renault as a test driver before taking over the next year, and Schumi was dominating in his Ferrari.
Honestly, it still feel like 10 years ago in my mind…
Thanks Kym. After I give #4 to Cody I will have him watch this video, it should be quite the surprise.
Kym and Bottas should host a podcast
Don’t complain! You’re in Australia. I would liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike to be there! Say hello to Lando, Checo, Lewis, Danny Ric and carlos!! From Nathalie in Canada! 🇨🇦
Vallerti's voice screams old school James Bond to me for some reason
I thought the temperature would be higher than that. I thought it was summer there!
Early autumn, and a maritime climate
You chose a great venue for your son,s special occasion and very touching gesture are your letters dedicated to him.
I worked at Frasers for a good part of 13 years under Chris Taylor and the O,Briens Proprietary Ltd.
I was also assigned to look after the private dining room and have had the pleasure to rub shoulders with working class clients right up to well known public figures.
Was interesting to see they got rid of the Toodyay stone tables outside. They were unstealable due to their weight.
Keep up the great content. I always look forward to your next video.
Enjoy Melbourne.
I’ve had a number of functions in the private room there
Welcome to my home. And thanks for the meet and greet
Got your pic signed today too.
Kym, you're a dream dad. Keep shining.
Thank you! Will do!
That Panerai was lit...
Yes
More of Checo Please!!!! One signed form Monaco!!!
As a person from South Africa, it does not surprise me that you’ve had a bad call centre experience. Call centres are all kinda like that across industries
Can't wait for your QANTAS sponsorship LOL
Couldn’t lie to the public
I always hit like when you tell me Kym 😎
Like now Mohamed. Thanks.
Kym, you mention about the date and time used in camera metadata a bit there, do you have to set it up for each race location you went to, or does the camera automatically could change the time zone on its own?
Have to set the time manually
Hi kym, i have to ask: where can i get that amazing totebag you are carrying at 9:56 ?
New game seems to be #Illmanspotted There are a couple at it judging by the comments on the F1 YT weekend warm up video. Spotted both you and then your son behind Will, Laura and Lawrence at 1:01 and 13:37 Now hoping we spot you behind DC and the UK Channel 4 crew!
Just wondering, when you sell those signed prints do the drivers get a cut of the sale?
They don't do anything for free.
