Probably make it to Barcelona port just in time for the race weekend.
My guess is that they'll probably fly to Athens and road freight from there.
Spanish airspace isn't actually closed (at the moment)... could airfrieght and fly the guys straight there: ship extra stuff out with the trucks.... My guess is that they'll probably fly to Athens and road freight from there.

transporters
motorhomes
and, of coursde, the F1 cars themselves.

I thought Brundle or Legard said one of the times was booked on a Luthansa flight back on Sunday night and it was guaranteed to go. They seemed somewhat surprised though.
I'd guess they'll pack up and fly back to as close as they can and the transporters will to meet the aircraft and collect the freight back to the factory. Could actually benefit the non-UK based teams who wont need to cross the Channel twice.

it's gonna be a logistical nightmare to unpack the flyaway freight boxes and get stuff into the trucks anywhere apart from the factory i'd have thought. to me, it looks like there could be a serious possibility of the barcelona race not happening.
no great loss.
i do quite enjoy the idea of a gumball type race tho. it would be that combined with a paris-dakar type race with the big trucks, cars, and scooters
i have a question tho as i'm not able to get that much info. i'm in shanghai at the moment - if my flight back to the UK is cancelled, what about re-routing to come back to london via america, is there ash to the east of the UK too?
no great loss.

yup - sorry! There was a brief period where a few flights got in/out from Glasgow I think heading east, but that closed again. Looks like some of the airlines are getting itchy about the lockdown and sending a couple of test planes up.... so maybe even if the cloud doesn't move away the limitation may get relaxed a bit once they have better data on the effectsno great loss.
