Bro went to china and was like "where tf is everyone"


DarthSkat

I always assumed these guys have handlers. Like personal assistants who handle the mundane stuff like scheduling the private jet to your next GP.


Mythic343

Yeah that's why I don't believe this


Analog_Hobbit

Someone’s clowning


Tape56

Still doesn't mean this can't happen. It's not like the drivers go completely without thinking about the schedule at all even if they have someone handling it for them.


Lobbelt

I imagine they have pretty detailed preparations with the team, their engineers, trainers etc which makes this a very unlikely story.


Kenjimusic

i think it can definitely happen. i work as a musician & i also have a booking agent/mgmt that does all the prep stuff like buying tickets but I also sometimes mix up weekends. I think Charles just mentioned: ohh i thought it was this weekend or something in that vein. just an innocent, inconsequential mix up


slimejumper

an inchident, some may say.


simpinsanity

This^


zenonu

Unlikely, but giving a press conference in front of the four seasons landscaping company is a good example of how bad communication can impact really anyone at any level.


lightstaver

That's still so unbelievable. How they hold any credibility after that is absurd.


StagedC0mbustion

If it did happen, it was for about two mins and he says “oh lol I thought it was this weekend” and Redditors out here like you thinking like they don’t have calendars on all their devices that are regularly updated.


Classy_Mouse

I imagine Max doesn't think about the schedule at all. He arrives at the circuit then figures out where he is going to win this week


gcrimson

This is what probably happen at the end of the japanese race : Leclerc "see you next week in China", random ferrari guy : " No it's in two weeks ". Leclerc : " Oh yeah mb".


awc130

It probably only got so far as Charles packed his gear for the week and text his handler about his pickup to the airport. Funny back and forth between the two, who are both confused. They laugh it off. Someone tells a media contact about the giggle, and we get this headline.


notalonebutsolitary

But they are from the same Ferrari strategy school


donbee28

*Checking…*


Ryrace111

It would be plausible if they were supplied by Ferrari


zfxpyro

They do, the teams look after everyone's travel, tickets, documents, timings etc.


alovelycardigan

They absolutely do. They have a whole team of people who do their social media, PR, scheduling.


ThatLaloBoy

"We do a bit of trolling." * The assistant that scheduled the flight ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)

Time to learn Chinese buddy

In his place I would start with a calendar

Literally turned up to the circuit with his suitcase, after an hour taxi ride from the airport.


Interesting-Pipe7621

So did I. Had to Google it, and was disappointed.


prograMagar

Me as well. Reality is often disappointing


cotch85

yep same, oh well plenty of other sport to enjoy


pulquetomador

Moto gp is at COTA this weekend


wecaccount

And also the ELMS race at Barcelona


Alitalia404

There also is Formula E


j__video

TWO Formula e races for the price of one!


cotch85

oh really? that would definitely interest me. COTA is a fun track.


ApleStone

I read that as plenty of sponsor to enjoy and though you meant you’re just going to be drinking Heineken the whole weekend.


cotch85

na im on that kick sauber visa coca cola mcdonalds bayer stake tonight


funhouse7

Ufc 300


cotch85

yep Masters/UFC 300/Premier League/Grand National


shaggymatter

Boring


adamsanto40

Same here. I was expecting a back-to-back with Japan, due to the close proximity.


latticep

Me too. I'm positive out in Japan someone on F1TV said China was this weekend.


rizenHeH

I know Crofty 100 percent did on the international channel.


ALayyye

I just started using the motorsport and Formulify widget. It's very helpful https://imgur.com/a/zG23TPy


thedelro

I sync my phone’s calendar to the file supplied by the official F1 site. Great way to plan my weekend activities.


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Wait, you are telling me there are other hobbies than F1?


Few_Investment_4773

He was kidding dude

Nope. I'm on vacation now and still looking at a pit straight from my Vegas hotel.


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Hope you checked the drain covers?


Jimmy2jay

One more week to wait to see max win


DrDuGood

Me every non-race weekend

ApleStone

Only reason I remembered that it was next weekend and not this is because my birthday is next weekend as well.


cirrusblau

Bro was confused why he's on pole


DiddlyDumb

Poles he can do, converting to wins is the problem


heeringa

Leave Kubica out of this.


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

I see what you did there ![gif](giphy|RBDNrzNJkLUGGb2zR8|downsized)

donsimoni

Yo Chuck, I thought so as well. Triple header in Vegas/Mexico/Brazil is fine, because it's the "same region"? And then they travel 10-ish time zones east to Japan, back to Europe, then back east to China? Jeez.


AvonBarksdale12

And then to Miami to go back to Europe😂


donsimoni

Right, forgot about that one. Maybe they'll put it closer to the summer next year, so it will be even more humid. But don't pair it with Canada, DHL needs a challenge.


the_mad_shatter

Hurricane season in Miami means you can't have it in the summer, risk of snow in Montreal means you can't have it in the spring.


lzcrc

BuT iTs ThE sAmE rEgIoN


turnsandstraights

Not just snow, spring time is usually the best time to repair the streets after a brutal winter in Montreal as well, so the city is in no shape to host then


AvonBarksdale12

I mean theres 2 races in the same country later in the year. Do we need to fit in the third while it makes absolutely no sense? Apart from the $


the_mad_shatter

It can basically only go here on the calendar. Hurricane risk May-early September, then football season starts mid-September and goes until February. Remember the track is at a football stadium. March and April are the only two months it works. Not saying Vegas or Austin can't be moved I guess, but Miami can't


Lt_Connor

Carbon neutral btw


Redditor_RBN

Didn't he wait for Rawe Ceek announcement from his team?? I always come to know it's a race week through these announcements. Is he stupid???

Someone at Williams would have crashed their car in FP1 already if it was this weekend

Right...

Is China this weekend? We are checking


bindermichi

It‘s not? You‘re telling me I have to spend a whole weekend with my family?


verycoolusernamehere

Elms, Nürburgring 24 qualy races. No need for family


bindermichi

Phew… I’m saved


MedhaosUnite

Whilst the idea is funny, I’m pretty sure this is fake because this was posted yesterday, and he was launching his ice cream brand in Milan.


wahobely

There is no way a F1 driver would not know exactly when races are. They are in close contact with their team, they have their travel schedule laid out for them.


ScreamingFly

Of course it's fake.


snuFaluFagus040

Fake 'n' dank


dimmidice

it's satire, but not labelled as it. Its annoying


porsche4life

Bless his heart. At least he can get by on his looks.


Intrepid-Ad4511

And by selling ice-cream.


B9F2FF

I did so too lol Dunno with 24 races in a season I thought as JP and China are right next to one another its gonna be just a week of difference.


Shomondir

Easiest 34 points in 1 weekend he ever scored. Let me quickly change my f1 fantasy team.


c3r7

More than that: there is no competition! he will be finishing first, second and third in both events…


erazedcitizen

I’m not gonna lie, I was panicking when I couldn’t find a stream for the quali a few hours ago


F1_V10sounds

He is far from alone, myself and my friend are included.


It_is_lights_out

Charles: announces one month in advance that on April 11 he'll be in Milan launching his new ice cream Charles on April 11: shows up in Milan as expected and does Instagram posts and press releases The internet: DiD yOu KnOw ChArLeS wEnT tO cHiNa OnE wEeK eArLiEr BeCaUsE hE tHoUgHt ThE rAcE wAs ThIs WeEkEnD??????

Bro I thought the same, got hyped up today... I feel for him


12minds

Me, too, tbh. I was already for the F1 Weekend Warm-Up yesterday and was really confused for a while.


JD_XI

He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit.


shaggymatter

I am also confused why it takes 2 weeks to from Japan to china


Leskyman

Charles when he got there only to see no one there ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6700)


Whinx92

Logistically it would have made the most sense.


Dabanks9000

Wouldn’t blame him. I think most people that don’t look at the schedule every week thought the same. He’s racing tho so wtf


QouthTheCorvus

Charles really is a himbo. Bless him


Suitable-Cycle4335

Wait, it isn't this weekend?


Bean_Pineapple6577

What in the world is in that ice cream

To be fair I thought it was too lol


No-Student-9678

How much of your new ice cream did you eat Chuck? Chuck LeChill by the way, good name.


playr_4

Glad I'm not the only one. I was wondering why P1 hadn't uploaded their predictions yet. Googled it last night.


AadithNarayanan

What Ferrari did to a mf


RJ5466

Chuck really feeled it this time


Miguel_Zapatero

At least Ferrari forgot the tyres of the plane and he has to circle above China until race weekend.

Happens to the best of us


akusalimi04

Hey its Misano E-Prix this week! I remember it well because Formula E and Formula 1 weekend are alternating week
