Huh? If you're talking about the teams' hospitality buildings, then yet, most of the time the teams bring them and set them up themselves. Some tracks offer areas above the pit boxes for the teams to work out of or entertain VIPs.

Alzilla, what you're talking about is in old tracks like silverstone and track that aren't permanent like melbourne. The new tracks all have permanent hospitality buildings behind the pits and in the paddock area.

one thing to remember is that the original complete date was to be in Juneand they were ahead of schedule. now the race date was moved to November, that automatically put them 4 months ahead of schedule. Even with the delay(there always is something lol)they should have no problem finishing the track on time.

I remember it being a "quality of work" problem in India, can't be time when you have a population of of over a billion.
There were alot of tax and licensing issues with India. They don't consider F1 a sport. Gotta love red tape.

Thanks for the clarification, Eyad. I wasn't aware that that was the case.

The govt. taxes more if the sport, any sport, does not provide opportunities to locals. F1 is considered a luxury sport here.

I understand it being a luxury sport, but how does it not provide opportunities to the locals? I mean you have the track build, the opportunity for more than just F1, not that having the most watched sport in your back yard isnt enough. The race is during the weekend, but it starts at least a week before hand. There is so much opportunity here.

They really have to watch the way they handle it, there are alot of countries that would kill for this chance. Bernie isnt above taking his football and going home either.

Btw, what part of India are you located?



Edit:I finally hit 3k posts

Opportunities like being selected as a Driver or part of the crew, basically kick starting the local's career in that sport.

I'm in southern part, Hyderabad.
