It would be amazing if you decided to do a race highlights reaction from the F1 channel from time to time. You'd really love it

F1 is a fantastic sport to watch but over the years I've found that I have learned the most from watching the practice sessions, The commentary in the practice sessions teach you soo much about the sport that you just don't learn otherwise and most people don't watch them.

[pkscarr]

slight note, this video was from 2015-ish and since then, a few tracks have been replaced and the order of others has been somewhat re-though out as part of F1's attempt to limit their envrionmental impact of having hundreds of shipping containers always moving at the same time. So the logistics, whilst still extremely complex, are not quite as obscenely over the top now.

Just to give you an idea.
Yesterday it was France GP in the south of France at Le Castelet, next Sunday it is the Hungary GP.
The teams must be At the Hungaroring Tuesday.
1447 km.
They Have the Sunday afternoon after the race to load trucks, Monday, today, to do 1447 kilometers, to be in Hungary Tuesday.
Look at the Calendar of July. England the 3rd, Austria the 10th, France le 24th and Hungary the 30th. Now take a Map of europe.

In 2008, I think, I worked at MAN in Eugendorf, when Red Bull ordered 20 trucks for their teams. 10 in Red Bull Racing colors and 10 in Torro Rosso colors.
Two thing I learned back then,
1st thing is, Red Bull colors are patented. On two RBR trucks the side wings weren´t painted inside and we asked for the color code. RB said that the color is patented and asked how much color we need so they can bring it to us.
2nd when the drivers came to pick them up I talked to one of them. One driver said it just like that. You arrive on the track, first you park in for hour or two. The distance between trucks and trailers is measured with an laser and the tolerance in the distance is about 1cm. Then you get out and start polishing the truck and the trailer starting from the top and all that at 30°C plus.

As an aussie it makes me appreciate more what Sir Jack Brabham accomplished. He could design, build, race, and win world championships with his cars, while still having to deal with all those logistics in getting his cars to all the circuits around the world (with help of course, but still...)

[pandrol]

As a life long F1 fan, who has NOT seen a postive reaction from NASCAR fans in general over the years, I just want to say how much I appreciate the effort you are putting in to understanding every aspect of the sport. The more you learn, the more captivating it is. Keep up the great vids, love em!
10 days till I leave for Monza!!! Forza Ferrari! (although, I suspect Red Bull will do very well at this circuit)

All around the world except Africa. There used to be a GP in South Africa, at the Kyalami circuit, last time held there in 1993.

[Pyllymysli]

One thing I always admire in F1 are the pit crews. I know they got all the top level tools and systems but for that stop - tire change - go to take ~3 seconds as a team requires a insane amount of drilling.

[justawhisperintheuniverse]

The work behind the scenes is just incredible and you'd never know it if you just watch the race every (other) week, because it all just happens. Phenomenal effort by all teams to pull this off and get it done. The crew deserve way more credit than anyone will ever give them.

Lorry is a truck in general
A 'Semi' we would call an Artic, an articulated Lorry/vehicle

[rudfil]

Watching Qualifying is my favorite part of the F1 weekend and then lights out!!...the standing start!

[nukers]

The unsung heroes of F1 is the mechanics and their families who have to live with it. This season is 22 races long, original 23! And the mechanics are the first on site, they literally builds an city on each race in Europe, it's a little bit easier on the fly away races as they uses hotells instead of the large container structures they use in Europe. And they are the last to leave after tearing everything down. And after mechanics comes chef's, waitresses, marketing people, medical staff, trainers, drivers and general staff. I would like to call the logistic planning of F1 an highly precisely military operation, but that would been an insult to F1, they have to it better. :P

[caltravels]

Right on Ian, like I say to all my family that just think racing is just vroom vroom, did you see that car, it went vroom, NO, so much goes into it, the strategy, logistics, the drivers, SO much goes into it.

[frog]

imagine sending 2000 people and a 3 story building 4000 miles away just to have your two drivers crash into each other

[oprose]

You mentioned DHL around 10:00, and amusingly I think they're still the official logistics partner making the show happen. It can go wrong though, as you'd see if you looked at MotoGP this year - one of the three planes shipping stuff from Qatar to Argentina broke down, and some of the major players in all three classes were still building well into Thursday night (with first practice for Moto3 early friday morning)

[timokiander]

The Red Bull track does look awesome and I had the pleasure of seeing one live here in Finland some years ago. I talked with the driver (who had started his journey from the UK days earlier) and his truck was carrying Sebastian Vettel's '07 Toro Rosso to St. Petersburg Russia as Red Bull had a show there. The truck really stood out since you don't typically see those kinds here. The driver was nice enough to give me and my son brand new Red Bull caps too :)

[MrJoromekiq]

Soon we will have Antarctica GP on the calendar

[bakedbeans]

imagine doing all of this as a williams staff member and u just watch goatifi slide through the gravel every single race

[Scenario]

there is a quote: ""If we ever do colonize Mars, Formula 1 engineers would be the first people I’d want there." after this video I would add the logistics stuff too to this quote.
