"Turkey, a busy one for logistics - 11th August 18:42pm GMT
After the race in Budapest, Formula 1 seemed to be entering a period of time reminiscent of an era when life was lived at a more relaxed pace. To start with, there would be three weeks before the next grand prix and secondly, the race cars and equipment would travel there and back from Trieste, Italy by ship.
Last year, Turkey became the first ever race described by the teams' logisitics people, as a 'float-away' as opposed to 'flyaway,' which describes the races outside Europe, where teams have to get organised without their trucks or motorhomes. Turkey falls between the two in that the trucks and motorhomes in the paddock mean the event has an identical feel to the European races, but the vehicles do most of the journey by sea, rather than by road."
