Hey Kym, Roberto Merhi is an ex-F1 driver. But from before your time in the paddock. He raced 13 GP in 2015 for Marussia, best result of 12th at Silverstone. He's good mates with Carlos, and appears in a few of his YT videos.
As someone who's very new to the world of F1 & also missed his first view of testing, i say this video is Magnificent!! Thank you so much for making this one and i know that I'll be loving this channel & You!! 😉
Let's take a second to give props to kym for getting this video out not even 2 hours after the day has ended Granted nothing was shot at night and he most likely just sent over the footage and photos to his editor but I would have expected something early tomorrow morning at the earliest so big ups to u kym
If they don’t already, F1 should market those shoes the Mercedes boys were wearing to and from. And Max looks thin. Must have really hit the training this off season.
Did not know de Ferran had died. He was an excellent driver and very likable guy. 241.428 mph (388.54 kph) closed course speed record in 2000 Reynard Honda Indycar.
Hey Kym. I once heard that dots on glass can help with birts not flying into the glass. I am not sure if that is the reason here. Love your content. Keep it up.
Daniel did so incredibly good today, getting 4th in that car? Goes too show how even in a bad car, the best drivers can get ahead, even getting ahead of Charles and the Mercedes, super excited for this season since she’s my favourite driver, love him too death
Proud to represent you & support the red team! 🙏❤❤! FORZA FERRARI! 🔥 Let's go lads! Full focus on the second day of the Bahrain tests! Ferrari Red on sundays! 🤩
Thx for all your relevant and not over sensationalist footage and comments. A breath of fresh air in a woful of multiple so call F1 channels who constantly sensationalise their titles to squeeze the last penny out of CZcams without ever providing original content. The leeches as I like to call them.
Weird seeing Lewis change manager, do you know which of the two negotiated his ferrari move? Be odd if it was Penny, 'thx for getting me the ferrari seat, your services will no longer be required'
Wouldn’t it be great if the carbon fibre could be somehow impregnated with colours? Then the ‘issue’ of the look of cars would improve. After all the ‘look’ of the cars is all important for sponsors.
Looks like Max is wearing a new Tag watch - a chronograph it seems. And Checo has the Tag Monaco Dark Lord. Last year I bought a Monaco with the blue dial for myself. Time for another watch update. Pun intended.
I find the cars paint schemes a bit dull compare to indy cars. To much black. Very nice colors for most of the teams, but always with a lot of black...!
I have to say that I always enjoy your videos. I remember seen you in Montreal a few years ago, it was a rainy day. I am from the suburbs of Montreal. Can't wait to see your next chapters ! Thanks !@@KymIllman

Noted. Thanks for the info
I think the secret shoot may have been the grill the grid recordings cause i know they record them all at the start of the year
You might be right!
@@KymIllman Could it be for the new opening titles? Or is that being filmed at an earlier moment?
I'm more inclined to think it was the new opening sequence for TV.
I saw McLaren post a BTS of a shoot with all the drivers. Some were on top of boxes. Could be??
They obviously don't have all the drivers come at the same time for those or have them take their helmets.
One of the best preseason testing videos so far Kym
Thank you for that high praise, indeed
As someone who's very new to the world of F1 & also missed his first view of testing, i say this video is Magnificent!!
Thank you so much for making this one and i know that I'll be loving this channel & You!! 😉
Magnificent! I am honoured
photographer, journalist, video editor, youtube presenter. you're a genious, dude 😂
Tell the world please
im so happy it started
As am I
Just subscribed! Loving the behind the scenes detail without the british bias 😊
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the recap of Day 1 - I think the Stake Car will be amazing under the lights
Finally give me something to do for my Sunday mornings when I watch the race on TV let's fucking gooooooo
Let's take a second to give props to kym for getting this video out not even 2 hours after the day has ended

This is the start of something different this year. Dynamic content and hopefully we can post a video per day over the Race weekend.
Finally Subscribed after 12 months of you tell me 👍🇳🇿 thanks Kim great videos
Welcome back!
If they don’t already, F1 should market those shoes the Mercedes boys were wearing to and from. And Max looks thin. Must have really hit the training this off season.
Kym F1 content king is back!
Wooohooooo I just saw Kym on E3 DTS..... Taking photos of Zack B
Really enjoy your behind the scenes news of what’s happening. Thank you.
My pleasure
Great video, Kym!
The Ben-10 Sauber car looks amazing.
Maybe Lloyd got replaced by the new security kid at 1:03 lol!
madnesss!!!! A new season always gives me chills
It is good to be back!
Exciting first day seeing cars on track !!
Carlos Sainz return to Redbull 👀
F1 is back!!! Lets go!!! 🏎️🏁
It certainly is!
Love the new shorter intro!
Can't wait for more F1 BTS, Kym!! Keep up the good work 💪
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for the update great footage.
Glad you enjoyed it
You're right, Stake f1 colour is mostly for photographers bcz VCARB suit is very nice despite you calling the it dull.
Yeah. Absolute shame the blue on the VCARB merchandise doesn’t pop the way it does on the car. Could’ve been very attractive.
I agree
Did not know de Ferran had died. He was an excellent driver and very likable guy. 241.428 mph (388.54 kph) closed course speed record in 2000 Reynard Honda Indycar.
have to say that I'm really happy for Lando!
I’ll pass it on to him
@@KymIllman much obliged!
Great video Kym, love your attention to details.
Best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
I’ll chatted with one of these Swedish TV presenters yesterday
Max poaching Sainz's Trainer is more important to me than Sainz losing his seat to Ham
Sounds like you are heavily invested in the sport
Yep-you said it correct ly when you mentioned “Christian Horner.” “The media….” If it wasn’t for the media, this nothing RB event would be that. 🙄
I missed this! Glad it’s back!
Staying passionate Kym, have a good one.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Kym. I once heard that dots on glass can help with birts not flying into the glass. I am not sure if that is the reason here. Love your content. Keep it up.
Thanks for the tip!
F1 TV/Sky coverage went with RB and Sauber/Kick Sauber today as those are apparently the offical chassis names.
Good to know.
I also saw the FIA instagram page refer to them as Racing Bulls
The tents behind you look like the Denver airport
Think I saw you walking in the background during the F1 post show.
Could Will have happened?
2024 is an exciting prospect ..... holding pattern for 2025 and the drivers' market, but also I think we'll see some interesting car performances.
Thanks for the updates Kym ! Been in F1 withdrawal.
Looking forward to all your content.
Welcome back!
Rupert in an RB outfit doesn't sit right with me 😭😭
Daniel did so incredibly good today, getting 4th in that car? Goes too show how even in a bad car, the best drivers can get ahead, even getting ahead of Charles and the Mercedes, super excited for this season since she’s my favourite driver, love him too death
You say "in that car" as if you know the car is going to be bad, the car will be a midfield fighter
He played it down afterwards, when interviewed though, didn’t want to get too excited too early
Danny Ric is a man on fire today. His helmet has ghost flames. 🔥 running 5th at the moment.
I wouldn’t be getting too excited about testing though. Let’s wait till Saturday week.
Carlos friend Roberto is also an ex F1 driver!
Noted!
I also liked sauber's green and black, people hate simply because it has too much black
I love it
Kym the bicycle Carlos was riding is an specialized tarmac sl8 10k of a bike not cheap at all.
So I believe
@@KymIllman those driver they never cheap are they lol
I agree, the Stake livery looks great.
Love VB and he has opened up since leaving MB very cool look
Proud to represent you & support the red team! 🙏❤❤! FORZA FERRARI! 🔥 Let's go lads! Full focus on the second day of the Bahrain tests! Ferrari Red on sundays! 🤩
Heyyyy Kym. Howsit from your Southern Hemisphere friends, Cape town, South Africa😅 glad F1 is back
And me from Heidelberg Gauteng
Nice summary !
Happy to hear you thought so!

I just call it as I see it my friend
Go Max GO Red Bull 🏁 🏎 🏆
Here my year of Kym begins!
And what a year it promises to be
Been missing these regular uploads... So glad off seasons donezo 😂😂
More to come
Perhaps the dots on the garage curtains are to mess with auto focus on video and still cameras. What do you think?
No, I asked someone about it and they said it was just a design idea
Woo hooo we’re back
🎉❤
Kym slip slop slap mate
Nice for the update
I saw on the FIA instagram post today, VCARB was called Racing Bulls
The PR team has some work to do clearly
Weird seeing Lewis change manager, do you know which of the two negotiated his ferrari move? Be odd if it was Penny, 'thx for getting me the ferrari seat, your services will no longer be required'
Wouldn’t it be great if the carbon fibre could be somehow impregnated with colours? Then the ‘issue’ of the look of cars would improve. After all the ‘look’ of the cars is all important for sponsors.
Hi Kym, why are the security faces blurred? Were you asked?
Hope ya didn't leave the camera lens at the track
Looks like Max is wearing a new Tag watch - a chronograph it seems. And Checo has the Tag Monaco Dark Lord. Last year I bought a Monaco with the blue dial for myself. Time for another watch update. Pun intended.
I will investigate.
I think Mercedes posted a short video of the secret shoot where all the drivers are on different levels against a pink/purple background.
Maybe a simple question:
Are you enjoying it as much as when you started taking f1 pics? Or maybe more :)
Definitely enjoying it more now!
i am soooo excited for vcarb!
What’s the go with Norris and Piastri security requirements? I can’t find anything about this?
You found it here!
Question: do teams bring two cars to testing? One for each driver? I’ve never had this confirmed one way or another. Thanks.
IT'S HAPPENING
It is all happening here in bahrain!
The Stake team might have a stupid name but the car looks fantastic on the track indeed !! 💚🖤
Absolutely right
their name is sauber. these are just title sponsors like moneygram for haas is
Yup! Love the Ben-10 deco!
It looks like a default F1 23 Livery
Thanks Kim,
When the hell did Roberto Mehri get so jacked? 😂
Horner and Newey were not wearing the Redbull kit uniform 😂
That happens from time to time, particularly during a relaxed day like testing
I already miss Guenther
Great to watch
Great to share
Think we’re on for Red Bull winning each race again.
5:55 Series/Season 6, not 7 :)
Thanks!
Thanks Sean, for your contribution
Great video and love those shades that Bottas was rocking. Any chance anyone knows the brand?
I will find out
Wow😮
Thank you🙇♂️
@@KymIllman 🥳
thanks a ton - love your videos
🔥
Is Lewis looking like he’s hitting the weights? Or just flexing
Sainz Sr. already lobbying for his kid at RB.
I thought the same
George always looks tall in your photos?
He’s a tall man
Fernando Alonso on a scooter, I wonder who is He Imitating😋😛
Will miss Lloyd 😮
If you are interested in F1 as a fashion show you might want to watch this.
Lloyd is in Maranello learning Italian for next year to converse with the Mob of extra new fans that will be incoming once Lewis arrives 😂
An amusing theory
Glad to see you’re still wearing your floppy blue hat. 😁
But, I’m having my own bucket hats designed at present
I will look forward to it@@KymIllman
Maxterclass for #4 🤔
I would love to see Carlos win the Title this year and take the number 1 to another team.
The odds of that are very long I suggest
Gasly with the old Castrol logo on his arrival 'civvies'.
Thanks for the update.
Lots more updates to come!
The stake car and race suits don't look good, in my opinion.
❤
I find the cars paint schemes a bit dull compare to indy cars. To much black. Very nice colors for most of the teams, but always with a lot of black...!
You’re not wrong there
I have to say that I always enjoy your videos. I remember seen you in Montreal a few years ago, it was a rainy day. I am from the suburbs of Montreal.
Can't wait to see your next chapters !
Thanks !@@KymIllman
Who's looking after Sir Lewis now?
This season is already over.... Great video though..
Many are saying that
So a video about F1 testing without any F1 testing...
This is the wrong channel Timings and analysis of track action, this is the behind-the-scenes stuff that no one tells you
I thought Lewis switched to Ferrari? Why is he still wearing Mercedes with George?
He switches to Ferrari after this season.
@@Socaltrainwatcher Thanks
Great to finally see the cars again
