Marvel at the incredible logistics behind F1

This vid helps to explain the massive effort and organisation it takes to get teams on track for a Formula race.

Found the quick turnaround from Bahrain to Shanghai segment particularly interesting; especially no one can start unpacking until all teams have same batch of containers in place.

Great video, John! It's amazing how much it takes just to get the whole F1 circus from race to race.

Thanks for the posting John - quite mind-boggling.

I've always said that the F1 Spectacle is a stunning achievement .... but what you typically don't see behind the scenes, is out of this world.

It doesn't matter which driver, which team, which venue you support, we should all be proud of our chosen sport, thee pinnacle of motor sport, bar none!!!

EDIT:  However, if I am being honest, the presenter's voice in this particular video is mildly irritating!!

Best Regards,
Cal :)
