Time to play with the DRS zones i.e. let the guy following you pass you in the 2nd DRS zone and then pass him in the 3rd DRS zone.

 

stupid question:

how does all the equipment get from Bahrain to Jeddah?

it appears to be a straight line across the Arabian peninsula, about 800 miles.

are they still using air freight?

 

I believe so that they are using air freight.

 

RB is using trucks.

I wonder if Kalitta air flys them? They have a huge fleet of 747s. I knew the family from NHRA

 

DHL more likely. They have a logistical schedule with F1 and the teams year after year.

 

Nice contract for sure.

 

I am sure they are

 

Air Atlanta Icelandic picked up some F1 flights back in the day..but the race horses were much more interesting.B742.

 

I believe it's part of the sponsorship package with DHL

 

Jos Verstappen will not be attending the Saudi ArabianGP after his comments against Christian Horner.

 

Thats ok he still has to look at Marko all weekend!

 

The offical Logististics Partner of F1!

After the he barked orders to fire Horner liked he owns the team, he not be welcome ever again.

 

Is 3X WDC Nelson Piquet still banned from F1 paddock?

 

Excellent; completely inappropriate and destabilizing conduct.

 

His daughter is his surrogate.

 

RB will bring an updated package to Jeddah....it won't be that noticeable aerodynamically.

 

Red Bull says F1 advantage “distorted” but Mercedes not convinced

No distortion in kicking everyone's backend utterly lol

Earlier on Monday, reports incorrectly claimed Jos had been banned from Red Bull’s hospitality in the paddock for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix but his upcoming absence was later explained by his participation in the Rallye de Hannut.

 

Yes, everything is setup for air freight.
