Formula 1 teams hope the British government can help it in reducing the logistical nightmares that Brexit has triggered.

The seven British-based Formula One teams have asked the government to help ease post-Brexit border crossing and permit problems and are hopeful of a solution, Alpine principal Otmar Szafnauer said on Wednesday.

Nyck de Vries has blamed Brexit for his inability to practice in the Williams simulator ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

Alpine executive director Marcin Budkowski has revealed that border delays linked to Brexit forced the team to change the way it worked whilst preparing for the new Formula 1 season.

Toto Wolff believes Brexit will leave British-based Formula One teams at a major disadvantage – and a no-deal outcome would be a nightmare for the industry.
