Multiple F1 teams have had their freight delaye💯d from Australi🍎a to China.

At least four teams - McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, ꦺand Aston Martin - have been impacted afte꧃r cargo flights from Melbourne to Shanghai were delayed  by at least eight hours.

As a result, some teams did not receivꦍe their cargo until l🦹ate Wednesday afternoon.

F1’s governing body the FIA has confirmed that tyre supplier Pirelli took delivery ♉of its equipment in the pitlane of the Shanghai International Circuit on👍 Wednesday, having also experienced delays.

Due to the late arrival of Pirelli’s freight, teams have been given an extra half an hour to work on their cars on Wednesday. Th𓆉ey are usually given a maximum of five-and-a-half hours to do so.

While this has added to an already✨ intense schedule with the opening two rounds of the 2025 season forming a back-to-back, further knock-on effects are not expected.

One anonymous team membꦇer said the delays would cause a late𓂃 night for their mechanics but does not expect opening free practice on Friday to be impacted.

“There are no worries about free practice, bu🐽t these days will be some late nights for our mechanics,” they ar⛎e quoted as telling Motorsport.

“The only fr๊ee practice session of the sprint weekend starts at 11:30 local time, which means teams still had a day and a half to prepare for the opening session.”

This weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Chinese Grand Prix will mark the first 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:sprint event of the 2025 season.

After a sole hour of practice on Friday morniꦕng, the teams will go straight into Sprint Qualifying.
