It's also estimated that each team will transport around 50 tons of cargo per year, which can cost upward of $8 million. DHL cargo travels upwards of 130,000km over the course of a season, in up to six or seven Boeing 747 cargo planes per event.

In other cases, racing teams purchase private jets for the team to use when traveling to and from events such as races and business dealings. For example, Scuderia Ferrari has partnered with a private aviation business to shuttle racers aboard their jets from one race to the next.

The most important stuff is driven to the aeroplane, loaded onto Boeing 777s chartered by F1, and each team must pay for the space that they use. Staff travel the day after the race. Cargo planes land in Abu Dhabi on Monday and go straight to the circuit.

Many F1 drivers use private jets to travel across the world to Grand Prix races, with some private jets contracted to specific F1 teams.

Some drivers travel with their team on commercial flights (in business or first class, of course), while others charter their own private jets. Or, if the race happens to be in a driver's home country, they'll often stay at home and take their own cars to the track.

The process for F1 to move its entire infrastructure from country-to-country is truly mind-boggling. Each of the 10 F1 teams will spend $100m while travelling 75,000 miles (equivalent to the Earth's circumference three times!) and transporting 1,500 tons of equipment, sports business expert Joe Pompliano explains.

In other cases, racing teams purchase private jets for the team to use when traveling to and from events such as races and business dealings. For example, Scuderia Ferrari has partnered with a private aviation business to shuttle racers aboard their jets from one race to the next.

Instead, F1 cars are shipped in specialized road-going trucks and custom-built containers. Specialized road-going trucks? Each F1 racing team has its own specially-built trucks, which are built with an elevated, cushioned platform.
