They usually use the motor homes for the drivers and team. I remember last year in the DuPont Registry that someone sold a McLaren Mercedes motor home.

Okay so they purchased a new bus in 2008 called the Domino HDH. Red Domino HDH with representative trademark of Ferrari’s Scuderia is powered by serial 450 HP drive aggregate Cursor 10 and managed by Eurotronic transmission gear. It fulfills Euro 5 ecology standards. All other equipment inside the bus-camper is made strictly by the Ferrari team requirements. Separate rest and massage rooms, conference room, office with three workstations with bathroom and washroom included all in red color. Luggage space of the bus also contains electric generator, air-conditioning system and electric water-heater. It seems like an excellent bus. And I found this on the internet so just letting you know.

Happen to have a link or photos?

With motorhomes, I always wondered if the drivers and team members lived on site in these motorhomes during a race weekend or if they used nearby hotels.

I figured that they would live on the race track for the weekend. I mean if you got stuck in traffic on the day of the race then it sucks for you.

Sorry no pics. but it looked like your average motor home except with a Mercedes livery and some sponsors stickers.

F1 boys NEVER stay at track these days.
All pampered in the best hotels -- and WHY Bernie turns his back on great trackas if they dont have lots fo top hotels around

[250gto boy]

Its a shame they don't stay at the track. I suppose the only time not staying at the track is cool is when you race at Monaco. But imagine driving through Italian traffic to get to Monza.

Touche. I still think its smarter to stay at the track then using helis. And what if there isn't a landing pad?

Is that why they ditched San Marino and Indianapolis?

Not sure about San Marino. But they ditched Indy because Bernie is a piece of living, breathing crap who hates most things American.

Indy was dumped for many reason but having been there a couple times, the Indy Motor Speedway is rather far away from downtown and the hotels, IIRC aren't super close either. So it would be quite a trek from a hotel downtown out to the track. It'd be quite short by helicopter though, and since it is Indiana there are many open fields to land in.

IMS is interesting because it's just sort of there, out in the middle of a town. There is a subdivision on one side and some strip malls around but it really isn't in Indianapolis at all. It's kind of cool in that regard.

Imola (or San Marino GP if you prefer) was abandoned through a not so elegant trick. The track was relatively fine, safety included, but as mentioned the race buildings weren't as roomy as F1 wanted, so they demanded the organizers to renew the box area, which required brand new buildings and also moving the main grandstand and the main straight themselves. This renewing process started at the end of the 2004 season. Having been there in Septmeber 2004, I can see it not being as luxurious as some spoiled brat may want, but it was damn fine for me, and I got the "premium ticket" for the whole weekend (FIA GT, WTCC, F3000 and other minor series), with access to the tower and a free buffet, all for 50 €.

Once the works were done, the price to get into the circus again was just insanely high despite early promises bu the F1/FIA that there wouldn't have been much problem. It was of course a maneuver to move another GP to some oil rich country or something like that. The organizers went bankrupt and it took another year or to to get decent races there again, even if we are quite far from say 10 years ago levels.

End of the story. It's a shame because it's a nice track and as a visitor you can walk around almost the whole track. During minor events, you can even drive to some different corners through a street which goes around the track for the most part. Also being on a hilly area, there are some nice spots from which you can see many parts of the track as well.

Thanks again Bernie.
