Oh, God...
Tweets from Will Buxton:
Oh dear. All appears not to be well at COTA. Garages haven't been built to spec and are far too small. Teams meeting Charlie to discuss.
Health and safety won't allow them to work in the garages. Bernie won't allow them to work under tarpaulin. One royal screw up brewing.
HOW?! HOW?!

Re: Oh, God...
In the state where "everything's bigger", they make garage stalls that are TOO SMALL?!

>CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS
Welp that race is off the calender, WAY to late to screw up.
Only way i see it being salvaged is if teams complain about points implications.

Re: Oh, God...
And yet, Charlie approved the circuit layout, but he doesn't address the garage problem up front? We have to hear about it from Buxton?

Re: Oh, God...
Track gets approved by FIA, then they bring up this issue. What the hell is this nonsense????
EDIT: Wow. I can't believed I missed that. I feel stupid for overreacting like that.

Bernie means nothing to me, nor does he to anything in Motorsport and now look what he's done.

America and F1...an always flawed marriage.
Hopefully they get their act together and they can still hold the race next year.

Re: Oh, God...
remember that this track is being built for more than F1.
I wouldnt be surprised if this track is on the nascar schedule in the near future.

because he's the boss of F1, and he likes to do whatever he does and this is no exception .
Re: Oh, God...
>F1 in charge of making sure race tracks are built properly
I don't see why they cant build new garages in about a month in a half though.
B-B-BUT MONEY...
It's F1.

as long as it's used for club racing/nascar/etc thats good. one of the reasons i hate tilkedromes is that, like korea they are only used for one race.

What? No, seriously, what!? Bernie's the boss of F1, yes; but how does that make him responsible in any way for the construction of the COTA?

Well, V8s will be there next May, and MotoGP will be there next April, so...

Re: Oh, God...
Guys, you all over reacted. The whole Garage deal was Will Buxton being a drama-starting bitch. I seriously hate that bastard now.
Re: Oh, God...
So Buxton was stirring the pot i see.

Re: Oh, God...
Update from Buxton:
Just had a catch up with Charlie. Clarified COTA garage issue. Team complaints were over unequal allocation. Situation now resolved.
Top teams won't have quite as much space as they'd like, but they'll just have to suck it up. As Charlie says, "It's a beautiful facility"
