Malaysia Will Host Bahrain GP in 2026 | The Real Story Behind the Decision

What about, and I asked this in my video earlier tonight, will, because of course we have the enforced layoff, you cannot work.

If you're an F1 team, you're going to have two weeks off or whatever.

Now that we've got this extra race, it's going to mean a lot of extra work that people didn't bargain for, teams didn't bargain for.

Will they be able to, will they ask their staff to work

over the break? Well, they have to.

And I'm not sure how that's arranged in the contracts and everything, but they have to.

Well, I got a message from somebody here earlier today, and I'll tell you what it says, because this person works in Formula One.

And I said, how did you find out? And they said, well, I found out from the F1 website.

Yeah.

Now, this person works for a team.

There's no statement or information from the company, which seems bizarre for me.

That is strange.

Yeah.

And then it says here, we don't even have this on our sea freight routes.

Because they've got to send a lot of stuff by sea normally, and that's a long time frame.

If we have to fly it there, it's going to be well over a million dollars.

And that would be in the cost cap, according to my friend.

Well, it sounds legit, it sounds plausible, but they have to arrange something for the teams, don't they?

Now,

I wonder who's

going to pick up the tab for that, because I think we're talking about tyres.

That's another thing, you've got to get a whole lot of tyres.

Pirelli have to get, I can't remember the number, 1,500, 1,800 tyres.

1,800 tyres, yeah.

To the venue.
