Kimi Antonelli brings a water gun to Mercedes hospitality
Live The Dash's Singapore behind-the-scenes clip has drawn nearly six times the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 356,684 views a day, 5.9 times a normal first day on this channel (60,258).
Kimi Antonelli being sprayed with water...
What does Kimi Antonelli do when the water starts flying? Arrive at the doorway laughing, with a red water gun of his own.
Live The Dash's short clip catches Mercedes personnel splashing one another around the team's hospitality area. Someone runs outside firing towards the dining tables; Antonelli joins the commotion, playfully embraces a staff member by the glass doors, then ducks back inside as another water gun is readied.
The upload, titled "Kimi Antonelli being sprayed with water...", has reached nearly half a million views. It is a markedly faster start than a typical Short from Live The Dash, whose adventures range from bargain airport visits to expensive Grand Prix tickets.
There is an important bit of chronology behind the fun. The description places the footage at the Singapore Grand Prix, a couple of weeks before Antonelli became world champion. Several commenters point out that this is older footage, not a scene from the day it was posted; others focus on the playful atmosphere around the Mercedes team.
Singapore has already supplied another notable upload for Live The Dash: its exclusive-ticket experience there sits at the top of the channel's most-watched regular videos.
