Two Formula 1 freight planes were late in leaving Mexico due to poor weather conditions on Monday while on Wednesday there were further reports claiming that others planes were then delayed in Miami.
Formula 1 is confident that all the freight will arrive at the circuit on Thursday, giving the teams time to set-up for the weekend.
“There were delays in freight departing Mexico on Monday due to the weather conditions, meaning some freight is still to arrive in Brazil,” an F1 spokesman toldAutosporton Wednesday evening.
“We expect this to arrive tomorrow with no wider impact on the race weekend.”
Breaking: Fun and games in#F1land. Two of the F1 freight planes are stuck in Miami so it’s going to be a very late start to get building cars and get them through scrutineering in time for Friday. Herculean effort by lots of people but schedule might have to change.#bbcf1

Triple-header种族是一个相对较新的东西Formula 1, and not everyone is enjoying them.
The races not only put a strain on the drivers, but all the team personnel with the mechanics bearing the brunt of it.
“Each race is separated by 12 hours in a plane or so and it’s important that the team and the mechanics are able to preserve their energy,” said Alpine’sFernando Alonso.
“They were packing everything away until late at night to catch a flight to go to Brazil, unpack everything again, set up the garage. It’s on the limit for them.
“We have to find better solutions for the calendar.
“Austin is only an hour and a half from Mexico City but that was two weeks ago. It’s strange that some races are separated by two weeks and other races on different continents follow one after the other.”
