Matt YousonThere was a statistic doing the rounds in the paddock at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, back at the start of June. The Canadian Grand Prix would be our last standalone race until May 2025. For the next year, until Formula 1 next rocks up at the Miami International Autodrome, it’s doubles and triples all the way. That's a tantalising prospect for fans and one of the leading questions asked by F1 fans at this time of year – how do teams cope with these back-to-back races?

Fans doing a pit-lane walk are often impressed – sometimes puzzled – when they see the pristine garage operating at one circuit, when they know a few days ago it was 1600km away at another circuit. It doesn’t pack down in an hour, it isn’t air-freighted and it isn’t magic – but it also isn’t the same garage.
