Formula One team's are set for an extremely busy month in February. There is just over a month to go until the first race of the 2014 season and there are still two winter tests for the team's to complete.
The first of these tests gets underway next week at the Bahrain International Circuit with the final test getting underway on 27th February until 2nd March. This gives team's just under two week's to get any reliability issues sorted before the first race of the season in Melbourne, Australia as the event gets underway on Thursday 13th March which is the media day for the event which is exactly one month away from today.
While the team's are finishing up the final test in Bahrain on 2nd March other team personnel will already be in Australia setting up the garage's and hospitality area's in preparation for the arrival of the driver's and other team personnel. It will be all hands on deck.
Formula One is such a well oiled machine that preparations are already well underway in Albert Park as the seating for the event is currently being put in place.
Team's will already have shipped supplies out to Australia such garage branded walls along with some catering equipment.
Formula One have a global logistics partner in DHL who transport the cars and team equipment to the race's via air and by sea. DHL use two huge 747 planes to transport the sport to each of the flyaway GrandPrix.
