According to authorities engaged in the process, Formula One has conducted the longest logistical exercise in its history, spanning from the Las Vegas Grand Prix to Abu Dhabi.
One of the greatest accomplishments since the checkered flag at the Las Vegas Street Circuit on Sunday, according to F1 senior logistics coordinator Christian Pollhammer, has been preparing everything for takeoff and landing the essential team equipment at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi by Tuesday.
Seven Boeing 777 chartered planes carried all of the ten teams' equipment, including the multi-million dollar racing vehicles, to Abu Dhabi.
Contrary to common assumption, racing vehicles are disassembled and their parts are transferred into special crates before being reassembled by team mechanics at their garages for the next race circuit. On Tuesday morning, the teams had the first access to goods in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, 1,000 employees are present to prepare for the major race weekend.
