Ilman, in his recent video about the Monaco GP, said, “Checo came in via boat. He was accompanied by Netflix crew, who were following him.

“Now when they park at the particular jetty which is situated about third the way down the paddock. There’s no way for them to get in through a swipe gate. So, the security guys just open the gate for them and allow them to go in the paddock that way.”
