How do they even get those cars over here?

This seems like a logistical nightmare that isn't worth it during a pandemic with no fans anyway.


There is a really good youtube video of all the logistics that go into F1. most teams have 3-5 full race setups (other than cars) that they have ready to go for the next few races.

Pretty bummed about the cancellations. I was planning on going to the race in Mexico City this year.

Wendover does a great job there.

For years F1 came to North America just for Canada so not sure how much the actual logistics plays into it. The financial logistics, and risk, probably just don't make sense.

They have put together an amazing calendar this year staying in the europe and I don't think financially it makes sense to give up that golden goose.
