Network latency isn't really an issue, because the team has no direct control over any aspect of the car aside from what they say to the driver; Pit-to-car telemetry is explicitly prohibited, and radio comms from the team to the car are voice-only. In short, the latency introduced by voice comms far outweighs any geographical distance introduced by sending data to and from the cray at homebase.
