The process for F1 to move its entire infrastructure from country-to-country is truly mind-boggling.
Sports business expert Joe Pompliano explains that each of the 10 F1 teams will spend $100m while traveling 75,000 miles and transporting 1,500 tons of equipment. The logistical nightmare of the F1 calendar requires meticulous planning 18 months in advance to avoid mistakes. DHL, the logistics partner of F1, assists in transporting teams between their individual HQs. Trucks, boats, and planes are used to move the F1 team’s cars, engines, and computers. The teams arrive at each grand prix several days before the fans, and a motorhome is constructed at each race before being taken down and moved to the next location. Back-to-back races pose additional challenges due to the lack of time, with crews working through the night to ensure everything is packed up and transported to the next location. Transportation crews spend two months per year on the road, and shipping containers are used to transport non-critical equipment between flyaway destinations, saving teams money compared to air travel.
