Now i just wondering how people get around to all the different circuits etc. I would imagine that all Workers will go on a private chartered 777/747 to get them there. Drivers, Execs and Other VVIP will have Private Planes. Media will fly on Commercial flights.
I know equipment and cars go via DHL.

No, DHL just provide “express logistics” (i.e high priority spares, etc) to the teams during the season… The cars and major equipment are moved as above.

Two different situations…
For the “Flyaway” races – Australia, Malaysia, China, Bahrain at the start of the seaon and Singapore, Brasil, Abu Dhabi at the end of the season:
* Equipment is moved by 747F charted by the FIA (all teams except those that scored zero points previous season). UK team equipment now goes from EMA, this year using Singapore Cargo and Atlas Air – and continental teams went from Munich this year with Cargolux
* Team staff go by commercial scheduled flights in most cases, drivers same although I understand which class they sit in varies!!!!
For the “European” races:
* Equipment goes by road, usually from one venue to the next
* Teams go by commercial scheduled flights in most cases, drivers in many cases by exec jets
