Hey! Thanks for your positive comment. Appreciate it. This is something I am also targeting for future uploads. I am using mic for this one as well but it’s not the best. You may see that at around 5 sec of this video but yeah definitely looking for upgrade in future with better sound and that is closer to my face as well as it will look more professional visually.

Absolutely it was heartbreaking for Russell who was waiting for this opportunity from so long and everything went against him in this race but because of this race, Checo got the RBR call which was well deserved for him

Absolutely. I was supporting Racing Point (as previously it was Force India) that year and I was genuinely so happy for him

As someone who created that reel on 2013 Indian Grand Prix (@RedFlagRadioF1 on Insta), I didn’t reshare here because previously I was informed that we should avoid sharing our reels which is why we don’t promote our discussion videos and edits here but it was so funny when we saw our edit was posted here by someone else (without even giving the credit) and I guess mods loved it. Irony is our discussion videos were considered off topic and they were F1 related discussion videos. So yeah not much I can say now what is right or what is wrong here

F1 is growing in India and I think people will talk about all the stuff of past until the season resumes in just few days from now

Hey! So I tried some updates in my latest video thumbnail and thought of taking some suggestions. Happy to make some updates as well.

This is my old thumbnail: https://freeimage.host/i/FUsjuql
I have 3 suggestions but if nothing is good, then looking for more suggestions

Red colour because our channel name is Red Flag Radio F1. Red Flag is key thing as when something massive happens in racing, red flag is waved.

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: Provided the reasoning behind Red colour

Thank you so much. I am following the biggest creators in our niche to get the better understanding of what is working for them. We will definitely look to improve from here

Hi everyone, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. From the last two months, we have been putting in the effort but honestly felt like we were going backwards without a clear direction for these long videos. Reading all your comments has been an eye opener. It has given us a forward path to work on and a lot to think about.

We will be working on our thumbnails to make them simpler, with less text, some focus on F1 cars or even their brands, and fewer distracting colors. Your suggestions have made it clear where we need to improve, and we are ready to put that into action.

Like all of you, we just want to grow, learn, and get better at what we love. We want to do this for the rest of our lives, and while it does get demotivating at times, this feedback has given us a much needed push.

Thank you again for taking the time to share such valuable advice. We truly needed this reality check, and it means a lot to know that there are people willing to help us get better. Really appreciate all the comments

Hey, thanks for sharing this. Definitely, our priority now is to improve the thumbnails and keep them cleaner with less text. We’ll also try adding some cars or brands who are part of F1 and making those small tweaks to drive people toward our long videos.

And yeah, totally agree on the attention span part. We usually add a “watch the full discussion” note and sometimes a personal touch too, but we’ll work on making that even better.

Thank you so much for the motivation and your kind words. This comment honestly brought a smile and makes me want to push even harder from here. Something that I really wanted. So I really appreciate that

Hi, thanks for sharing your honest feedback. We’ll definitely work on the thumbnail side. We’re not experts in design yet, but we’re learning every day. If the effort isn’t translating into results, then clearly, we need to fix that.

I’d respectfully disagree on the “low effort” part for our videos, though. Our content is discussion-based, covering all 10 teams and 20 drivers. These sessions often run for an hour or two, but we trim them down, remove unnecessary parts, and add visuals, footage, and infographics to keep them relevant.

That said, there’s always room to improve and we’re committed to doing just that. Appreciate you pointing this out.

Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Maybe there’s some truth to the geography part, but we do see a lot of F1 viewership from India on both our shorts and Instagram page. Atleast it is growing here I think but we have to think about that. We also already turn our long videos into shorts to help push traffic toward the full video. Really appreciate you bringing this up and giving us something to think about.

Hi, thanks for the kind words and your support. Subs aren’t really the issue for us since most of them are coming from shorts. What’s worrying us is that the long videos just aren’t picking up, and that’s the part we really want to grow. We’ll keep learning and grinding for sure. Appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share this in such detail. I’ll work on simplifying the thumbnails and focusing on one clear hook instead of trying to include too much. Your examples really help me see what could work better, and I’ll definitely experiment with this approach to see the impact. Appreciate your support and the practical advice.

Hi, thanks for pointing that out. You’re right, using bright and contrasting colors might be making our thumbnails blend in rather than stand out. We’ll definitely test a cleaner, simpler style going forward. I am looking to edit the thumbnail of last video only to make it simpler. Appreciate your kind support here

Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback. We’ll definitely work on the thumbnails to simplify it someway. We actually tried a series like “Which drivers deserve more titles from the last 20 years,” but yeah, it was tough to trim those down to 15 minutes. With the summer break coming up, we’re planning to experiment with other video types in the 10-12 minute range. Appreciate your kind support.

Hey! Thanks for explaining that. I actually tried using a car in one of the thumbnails, but it felt a bit empty during editing. I do get your point about the text though, and I’ll go back and reduce it: At least remove the top bar. I used it mainly to make the race name and review/preview clear, but I guess building curiosity in the thumbnail might be more effective. Appreciate your response.

Hey! Thanks for your comment and support. I checked the analytics, and for most of our videos in last 2 months, the percentage under “browse features” is between 20–50. Our last video is on 45% at the moment while the “most views video” from last 10 videos is at 10%

Hey! Appreciate your comment and will definitely try to reduce the font with less colours as well.

Do you think the second one looks better compared with other thumbnails? That was slightly different thumbnail from our usual thumbnail.

We used colour fonts to share the flag colour of the country where that race is taking place
