- The 2024 Miami GP smashed records in the U.S. but is the Miami GP the best race in the U.S? Why exactly did the Miami GP break records though? Each year I’ve attended the Miami F1 race I noticed significant changes the 2024 Miami F1 provided one of the best F1 races I have had the pleasure to attend in my time as an F1 photographer. Here is how the Miami GP made history!

I’m a Miami Local who attended the race and I can thoroughly enjoyed the event and was able to find reasonably priced food. This was my first ever f1 race along with a buddy of mines and we both found the whole experience enjoyable
As a F1 fan of more than 60 years Miami is the best of that type of ('parking lot') layout that I've seen.
Thank you for your personal and professional experiences. Much appreciated. Miami loves Lando!
I love that your favorite drink is Southern Comfort.
I think more track should take the example that Vegas did with food…..complimentary unlimited food from multiple food stands with purchase of your grandstand ticket. Yes tickets were pricier than some, but I could get up form my seat, walk behind the grandstand, select from multiple different types of cuisine and return back to my seat….no extra fee. Basic beverages were also included. Alcohol and energy drinks were at an extra cost, but everything else was all inclusive with my ticket price. This was true and available at every grandstand section
If I understood that correctly, one meal was complementary in Vegas. I don't think it was all-you-can-eat.
@@DrAlex82 nope. Could come and go as you please. Multiple booths, small servings, sample as much or as often as you like.
a note on food prices; mostly same as Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden
@kymllman turn 11 into turn 12 is amazing you get to see the car up close. I loved those corners from the north beach stand
I would love to see you photograph, an IIMSA sports car race, and this weekend in Monterey California would’ve been perfect for your schedule. They allow fans to go anywhere on the track without necessity of buying different passes and the drivers are all open to meeting and signing autographs for anyone. Please check them out.
You got me I am checking your website at 3:57!
Miami was a great race this year and with a new first-time winner. Maybe there wasn't as many celebrity VIPs as before and that may be a good thing.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your videos Kym, always a pleasure to hear your perspective. Formula 1 needs to be a show to keep it commercially viable, and I believe all the races will have the US style entertainment, celebs and selfie-takers. That’s fine, at the end of the day what happens on track after lights out is what truly matters to us real fans.
Don’t know how I missed this video, I watch every single one but I finally made it to one LETS GOOO KYM. At 47 seconds in the bottom right of the first turn stand it’s my brother (wearing a boonie for the sun and heat with a purple Mercedes hat even though he’s a McLaren fan, not the race to wear a Lewis hat 😭) and me next to him with a black hat and ferrari shirt. I love your videos and it brings me so much joy to appear in one of your photographs.
Great and reasonable words, my dude! You give a fair perspective.
I've been watching F1 for 50 years and I think it was pre race in the Sprint or Race that former driver Martin Brundle did a live on Sky F1 from Turn 14,15,16 and explained the elevation and sequence of turns. It is the most brilliantly accurate explanation of a very challenging sequence of corners that I have ever seen in 50 years of viewing. Bravo Martin.
If Verstappen won people would still hate this track
This track is bad, F1 cars not met to be racing around this track its just for F1 and Liberty media to make money
@@luyolomnyani1639 love this track, simply for how angry you people get about it. its had some of the top races for overtakes in 2/3 years im pretty sure, but lets not talk about that
The race was satisfactory, and the qualifying was enjoyable. I did not dislike this race as much as I did the previous years.
Since watching F1 as a kid and regularly through to my 30s, the Imola Grand Prix is going to be my first race in person - so you are right, as a 'true racing fan' I am very excited!
Do you watch other motorsports?
over the weekend i learned alot about the upbringing on miami and it was amazing
Its a great event! Love F1 Miami!
F1 need to stop gate keeping.. Just let this sport growing duhh.
Win-do Norris won fro MAGAlaren 😜
Make McLaren Great Again
Love it.
Love it! thanks, Kym! Did you smash that whole bottle of SoCo? 🤣
No. Still 2/3rds left
@@KymIllman noice, what's your mixer of choice?
@@KymIllman interestingly, here in South Africa, we only get the 750ml bottle costing about 8.50 USD, cheaper than US if you multiply that by 2.34 odd.
Hey Kym,
I like the Racewknd Book from what you showed us, and am on the fence on buying it.
Are there any of your pictures inside?
That would be the reason for me to pick one up 😋
Not in this edition, no
Thanks for the video
My pleasure
Just want to say thanks for your insider observations. New to F1 and there are lots of details easily missed
I’m delighted to accept your thanks
I tend to agree with you. First year was not a good race, 2nd was better but this year was actually well worth watching. I guess it takes a few years for a new venue to learn and improve.I was on pins and needles the last third of of the race hoping that nothing went wrong and Lando could actually do it, but he kept creeping away from Max and as long as he didn't make a mistake he had it. Love your coverage as usual and it just would not be the same without you. On to Imola!
Epic race
I love the disdain in kyms voice when he says "multiple choice". Ahahahaha i totally agree this factionlism is wrongminded and hilarious. People like things for many reasons all of which are correct.
McLaren will invite him next time for good luck lol
Well, he is also painted orange.
@@obroniGuessing you’re painted weird and hateful.
After the backlash, they had to explain they did not invite him.
I don't have a dog in this race, nor cock in this fight, but I have to say, DT is a massive reputational risk for any place he goes.
@@obroni😂😂😂😂
Love you Kym to bits no doubt, Just wondering what “true racing fans” means does one have take a test 😂😂😂
Usually code for arrogant gate keeping Europeans.
Love the insights that lots (Sky/F1) aren't allowed to say out loud! Foisted!!!🙃
haha kym longshot question but did you get us coming in the paddock on sunday about a minute before max?
Most of my pictures are on prostarpics.com
I love that I knew only one celebrity you showed
I would never pay $1800 for a ticket in Miami so that a phony celebrity can get paid to watch the race. This is totally out of control! 🤷♂️
At least you found the Mandarin Kym. Excellent place to get away from the madness! Nice and quiet!❤
An absolute joy
3.6 million was just on network tv. That number didn't include F1 tv, which is the only way I'll watch F1.
F1 TV Pro is hands down the best way to watch Formula 1, and it is a real bargain at $80 USD per year.
7:00 Bollocks
I'm from Chicago and made the trip to Miami for the race (stayed in Ft. Lauderdale). I thought it was great, overall. I've been to COTA once and by comparison, Miami was incredibly well-run. It's really hot, I don't particularly care for any of the celebrities, I'm not a Trump guy, etc. But none of that it why I came to the race. So I didn't pay attention to any of that. I saw some great racing, was close to the action, and drank $12 beers all day. It was great and I'd happily go again. Everyone just wants something to complain about.
Stay passionate
I’m indefinitely passionate!
Celebrities, big brands, GOV money, TV income, and more is just what it takes to bring this show to town
our N.Y.Giants NFL team home games are in Met Life Stadium in northern New Jersey. Try getting your car out of the parking lot: there are no dedicated lines (there are in Disney World in Orlando Florida !!) so, at games end, you make it to your car and inch along to parking exit for 1 hour . . if that !!!!!!
Wow, caught it earl 😛
Well done! Hope you enjoy
I attended Saturday, third consecutive year for me. It did get more and more “cash grab”. Ground tickets, without seats, are bringing in a lot of people who aren’t there for the racing, rather to see/be seen and take their selfies for social media and dating sites. Overpriced food and drinks is to be expected, but there are no seats/shade to enjoy your drink or meal.
I saw Lewis's old pyso in the pits of Marcus Armstrong this morning.
She’s been working with him for a few months now
I wonder why she didn’t return to working with Lewis???
I'm the same Kym.
Miami Year 1 didn't enjoy it.
Miami Year 2 ho hum.
Miami Year 3 with the Sprint and Race Fantastic.
8:30 i say yes, make them pass a test. Hearing James Charles say that he was on season 4 of F1 talking about DTS and Jake Paul saying Hamilton was gonna win was so embarrasing for anyone watching
Please no more bollards, that would be ridiculous bro
Ugh Maine Lobster Rolls? Not a fan of cold lobster rolls. Much prefer the warm Connecticut style with butter. This is the first time I’m seeing the menu. 😂
I would love to see F1 give one pair of tickets away per team per race for paddock club. And then they can use their pics on social media to show they care about normal fans.
Why are people whinging about "celebrities" at the race? Who cares? I wish someone at F1 would pay me to attend a race. I'd be there in a heartbeat!
You could have every element that makes a great race happen at a US track and haters will still just call it cringe.
You might be onto something!
So true, unfortunately there is always going to be haters.
You only class yourself as a semi fan?
It’s work.
I noticed the empty seats on Saturday too but I mean, *its sooo HOT* idk if I would sit out there either. 🥵
Always enjoyed your balanced opinions 😊
Hello Sir, thank you again. Question, you called yourself a semi-fan, could you elaborate on this? What is it you don't like (so much) about F1, what is your favorite thing of F1? :)
Have a nice day!
It’s not like I support any one Team, I’m there mainly to work and tell you what I see.
@@KymIllman understood, thank you! And thank you for showing us the F1 life!
So great to see President Trump at the Miami Grand Prix!!!
Stay passionate Mr. Trump!!!!! See you in November!!!!
Make Indianapolis Great Again!
A bunch of those celebs live in Miami so it's easy for them to go.
Indy Car will be suing Liberty for marketing the Miami GP as " The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" A trademarked slogan.
Who watch Indycar?
F1 doesn't organize the miami gp, so the organizer will be in trouble.
Which is the owner of the stadium I guess, so gl with that.
@@daphneschuring5810Racing aficionados.
@@RedmondBarryII Correct. I should say Liberty Media.
@@RedmondBarryII Related owns the Stadium and the Dolphins... Stephen Ross. He might own them personally but he owns Related, a real estate development company in NYC. He did 0 marketing. Liberty Media does the marketing.
Miami is not fit for F1, paid $1200 for 2 midgrade seats, visited miami for a week and dealt with their sub par infrastructure, took 1½ hours to drive 5 miles in southbeach area during any daylight hours. Miami has changed like everywhere in the last 20 years, i would advise watch on TV, way better and any rude people in the crowd in your fault
South beach is packed huh
I personally don't have issues with celebrities at the race weekend. You have people like Gordon Ramsay, Michael Douglass, Jeremy Clarkson, Keanu Reeves, etc. that legitimately like the sport and know their stuff. I think it's when we have people like Meghan Thee Stallion or DJ Khalid at the races. That's hella cringe and puts the sport in a bad light. I'll never forget when Michael Douglass was walking down the grid in Barcelona with his wife and the man took his hat off and shook Brundle's hand and praised his commentating. We need more of that
The GP experience was amazing, even without the Lando win. I can confidently say it was better than COTA
That’s great to hear!
Correction : ''VONSCHITSINPANTS'' is not a Gentleman... more like a parasite .
Max let lando win
way to expensive!!! Check that video.. 102 euro for a cap 😂😅🤣
They didn't know how controversial it would be? That's ludicrous.
as a former president of the US surely he is allowed to go where he wants to ?…
Semi-fan??
Orange man with the Orange team lol I love it go trump
If that man represents 50% of the american people... It means that half of the population is not welcome at that race?? That would be really controversial! Some hate him... Some love him... What's controversial about it??
Most people don’t like N@zis and white supremacists.
@@airlinepilot25 , thank you, I needed a laugh this morning. 🤣
Keep politicians out of F1, period.
He's more of a celebrity than a politician.
And for F1 in the US to have the former and next president is something big. It's not just any politician.
The governor of Florida was there and nobody even noticed. Very nice!
@@nnonotnowwrong.
@@DjEricSupraslDisgraced presidents should not be celebrated.
@@nnonotnowSame thing happened to him in the presidential candidacy race. No one knew he was there either.
...organizers didn't know Donald Trump would be a decisive figure? Really...(side eye).
I'm just glad Miami chilled out with the theatrics, and hopefully Vegas will dial it back a bit too. I love a bit of spectacle, but push it too far with drivers needing introductions, and wearing football helmets for literally no reason, and it falls into the cringe pile. As far as celebrities go, they are there for the free press and the free food, and as mentioned, in some cases, the free check too, so can't blame them because ultimately the story gets picked up in the media and spread around and then people want to know what they're doing and what is F1, so everyone is benefiting there.
Rock Hard Stadium is the new name. Due to the fact Lando won his first race.
MAGA
Trump got love bc the fans have jobs
I'll be at Imola for an authentic F1 experience. I want to see proper racing and despite understanding that F1 is a business, I wouldn't much prefer to be at an authentic race such a Imola where there are real fans.
Well I hope you have a real good time. Are you in charge of defining? What's real asking for a friend?
love it or hate it there are real fans at every race on the calendar. also just because you ALSO see celebrities there, doesn't mean the racing is bad. i'd bet there will be less "proper racing" in Imola than there was in Miami
Enjoy! You are in for an authentic F1 experience. Bring some bottled water but be prepared to open each one at the security checkpoint. And mark your seat once you find it. If you get up you might not find it when you return. Tifosi just being tifosi.
They sent him to McLaren to represent with that orange tan and hair
I wonder if F1 management will compensate McLaren for the damage to their brand by having the Tango Tango man foystered on them? No one wants to be associated with a future jailbird? If that did happen and he did have to wear an orange jump suit, would that make him Tango Tango Tango?
@@fencingcoach3w Is your brain okay?
7:00 "I'm not sure if they had any idea of just how controversial this would be" - they had to know, if not they are terribly incompetent. It was gross to see agent orange there.
For shame Kym.... Stop drinking SC, and get you some Buffalo Trace!!
It will never happen
So you miss the crowd chanting USA! USA! USA!
It was a very small amount of people…not a crowd. Get your facts right.
@@mm9492 I think they were just making fun of the fact that some people cannot help themselves.
@@mm9492Were you there?
@@DebbiSmithDC yes
Strange final. Still have the Abu Dhabi 2021 fixe in my head.. Strange this looked a bit staged for the USA market.
In America - regarding Trump.
Who hates Trump?
Media, establishment politicians of both political parties, Washington DC bureaucracies, the US Intelligent agencies: FBI, CIA , most single woman. big defense/military contractors, Pentagon Generals, supporters of foriegn involvement/wars, global warming movement...
pro illegal immigration/ioen border advocates.
Who loves Trump?
Working people, men, married woman, rank and file military members, non establishment politicians, small business owners, farmers, ranchers, natural gas and oil producer's, manufacturing businesses. those who want US to get out of foreign wars, closed border advocates.
Re Biden
Who likes Biden? Maybe 30% of American's. I think much of Biden's support is anti-Trump, not that they like Biden. Biden is largely viewed as a puppet being propped up and not mentally fit for office.
The best way to judge what American's think about Trump is listen to the people, not the media reports.
You must do your own thinking, and research and not rely on media reports.
You have to remember who hates Trump and who loves him. All the big establishment power brokers in government and big business and big legacy media hate Trump.
Regular working people love Trump.
Our media in America has become like Pravda (USSR). They are not trusted by regular Americans. Many Americans are wise to all the lies and narrative shaping by the media. Everyday more Americans are figuring this out.
Re: Trumps Foreign Policies vs Biden's
Currently...
The world is on fire. Wars all over. Lots of division. Lots of people dying in wars all over the world that the US has fingers prints on...
During Trump's term in office. The world was pretty peaceful. Trump thinks the USA gets involved with other countries wars while neglecting USA problems at home, etc....
This is a very popular position with Americans.
Many believe if Trump wins Presidency many of US foreign involvement would be scaled back and get the US involvement in never ending wars.
Trump probably wondered why it wasn't an oval track, and was probably seeking out a photo op with Dale Earnheart Jr.
The podium seemed very strange, too big, too far away and too much in the way of flashy lights and special effects.
The Trump haters are very loud and rude people obviously. More than half the country LOVES him, but just don’t have to get in your face about it Kym. Make not mistake he was cheered at the race and loved
Excuse me, but more than half the country DOES NOT love him, or even like him. The guy has yet to win the popular vote for anything. Try sticking to the facts.
Delusional 😂 nowhere near half the country supports him! He’s never won the popular vote 😂 Also, Trump is the loudest and rudest man in America. You’re in a cult and I hope you grow some brown cells.
Much less than half the country lol
@@littlehippo5004 Most of America wants him back as President, there not rude and obnoxious about it, like the ones who don't.
I’m not sure you realize how much the rest of the world ridicules the US because of that man @MTbone7
We love Donald Trump.
Ride that meat more
Ride that meat more
Especially seeing him in orange prison garb.
@@johnkennedy3663Snowflake
You got a mouse in your pocket? Who’s this “we”?
EUROPEANS KEEP POLITIC AND SPORT SEPARATE
boring parking lot circuit.
Trump being there was Great!
Shame on FIA and Formula One to allow the worst traitor show up.
Trump is the reason Lando won....he can pick winners...clearly 😁
Trump had one win 8 years ago. It was his last
Exactly.
You are full of shizz.
8:35. Certain euro fans just can't comprehend that F1 is a global sport... and a business. Just bc you don't like the race Miami brings doesn't mean other people do. Euro has Spa, Silverstone, Monza, Enjoy those and we'll enjoy Miami. Just mind-blowing isnt it
I think you have a point, there are people who do have a downer on US races like Miami and Las Vegas and I think it’s undeserved as those races cater for the US market (as they should) which is different in format (entertainment/razzmatazz etc) than say some of the circuits in Europe.
That said, I think there is a little scepticism (me included TBH), that the US are into F1 for the long haul ie: without a competitive US driver or team, interest will wane like it has several times before (only say this as a Brit who has worked for US companies for the past 30 years and have lots of friends Stateside who have a passing interest in the sport but has nowhere near the draw to them of sports like NFL, Basketball etc).
If you are from the US would be interesting to get your take on how the sport is being viewed and is there frustration that there is not enough US participation (drivers/teams etc).
@@sultanoftippoo3857 US fan here who started watching in 2017.
I'm not sure most people care about a US driver or team. The nationalism in F1 feels like a legacy tradition more than something meaningful. If everyone moves to Monaco why should I care which nation's taxes they're dodging? No one I know roots for HAAS or Logan.
Waning interest is a real risk, but I think it will be due to F1 not delivering an interesting season in 2026 and beyond. Big changes like that usually make the field less competitive, batteries make racing worse, and we in the US don't have the tradition and nostalgia to carry us through multiple bad seasons in a row.
We do love celebrity, and the drivers these days are getting very media savvy. But that only gets people in the door. Will that be enough to get us through electric cars parading in circles? I'm not sure
@@tom.m thanks for the response Tom. Good to see there isn’t the pressure for a homegrown team/driver to win quickly as that was something I thought might cause some people to switch off.
It’s a good point about the hybrid element as the backlash on the change of sound from 2013 onwards was significant. I think this is a global audience dislike (US not alone here), hoping the move to sustainable fuels will delete the need for any electric power at all.
im glad everyone who has gone to the race or worked there is actually defending the grand prix, its such a shame it gets so much hate, but im glad everyone has a mutual hate for donald trump LOL
Open your eyes and ears. The people who were AT the race were cheering for Trump (you know those people with jobs who could afford to to do these kinds of things). The only mutual hate you see is amongst you and the unemployed, confused, and social media addicts.
I just can't understand why F1 would want Trump there at all, considering all the criminal cases currently against him.
Here here!
It made you comment on the video, didn't it? That's what they want: Getting people to talk about their event.
@@martinc.720 um, this is Kym Illman's video. Not any official F1 channel.
@@MarkoVukovic0 I am fully aware of what I am watching, thank you. But everyone understood that I meant that all F1 wanted from inviting him was to get people talking
It worked. Kym talked about it in his video, someone made a comment, I replied, you did not understand so I had to explain... it gets a conversation going, and all of it is related to F1.
@@martinc.720 ah yes, the presumptuous "everyone understood". Perhaps you weren't listening when Kym said it worked out badly for everyone involved, including F1. This is not a case of all publicity is good publicity. It was negative, from all aspects.
Half the country loves trump but God forbid anyone in media portrays him as anything other than hated by everyone.
Half the country? Half of the Republicans, so less than a quarter of the US.
Apparently Fox and Newsmax don’t count as “media”? I guess 24/7 orange-ass kissing isn’t enough to count as not being hated.
BS ! Mclaren plays golf at tRUMp resorts and Zak is in the CULT !
The good
Lando win
Weather
Trump
The bad
celebrities (most who have no talent)
Bad colour schemes
Over priced everything
Boring track
Bad camera angles, quite hard to really get a sense of speed. Compare this to the 80s and 90s where we had wider angles rather than pan and zoom non sense
Add future convicted felon Trump to the bad list then you got it.
Trump is an awesome man/President and if he were president that race wouldn't have cost you near as much.
LMAO 🤣 🤣🤣
Best comment on here.
