How do the teams get the truckloads of stuff from race to race, especially internationally? I assume everything connected by land is able to be traversed by road/rail in time to make the next race. Do they put a whole truck on a plane? Do they have trucks on every continent and just move palettes of stuff?

- cjrp 3y agoIIRC there are cargo flights specifically chartered for F1 teams (sharing an aeroplane). Edit: Yep, provided by DHL who are also a sponsor https://www.wired.com/2014/11/ship-f1-car-across-globe-36-hours/ https://www.wired.com/2014/11/ship-f1-car-across-globe-36-ho...
- microfen 3y agoThis youtube video does a good job explaining the crazy logistics of the F1 calendar. Multiple cargo ships constantly in motion, overnight truck deliveries, all in very carefully orchestrated ballet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLVFa8YRfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLVFa8YRfM
