Formula 1 and Critical Shipments: The Challenge of Dangerous Goods Logistics

Each year, the world of Formula 1 moves across continents with ultra-precise logistics. Behind the scenes—not just race cars and gear—teams ship dangerous goods such as:

• High-density lithium batteries (ADR Class 9)
• Flammable liquids (Class 3)
• Technical gases and regulated substances
• Advanced electronic components

These critical shipments require expert handling, especially during global events like the Miami Grand Prix.
