    I remember working at the British Grand Prix as a litter picker. But, the best bit was we were given access all areas and it literally was access all areas. I managed to get up close and take a picture of Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Derek Warwick, and Ayrton Senna. Walking up the pit lane on race day was the best thing ever! The smell and the noise, just amazing!
    This video just reminded me of that experience and I can see why you had such a huge smile on your face as well.

    When they had the Molson Indy Vancouver, I was fortunate to get a temp job working at it in the food services and was given an all access pass for the entire 3 or 4 days of it, including the Players party at the downtown Library and had full pit lane access as well, got to meet all the drivers and team owners from the likes of the late Greg Moore, Paul Tracy, Alex Zanardi, Michael and Mario Andretti to name a few. It was an awesome time, my main area I worked in at it was the area where all the team owners and staff were at especially for the victory celebrations.

    I discovered your videos about a year or so ago because your first F1 experience came up on my feed. As an F1 fan, of course I watched. I have watched several hours of your videos since then because incidentally, I also love trains - but the fact that you love F1 so much takes it all. I love living vicariously through your videos. :) Thank you!

    It's cool because you got to see other things not included, like the guy that took you to the other place. Otherwise paddock club is literally packed with people pushing and shoving most of the time which I dealt with in Doha and the wristbands for the track tour were finished in a couple of hours. Our shuttle got there later and so we missed out even though it was included on the price. Also people would sit at random tables and sections they are not even allowed in and no one would do anything about it. It's cool if you know people but not otherwise.
