Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

All 10 teams have their own catering department, which feeds more than 1,000 people in the paddock across a race weekend .

Each kitchen sources, prepares, cooks and serves food for their staff twice daily, and three times on a Friday -- with it being the longest day at the circuit for team staff.

Each team caters for around 100 people including staff and guests, and sometimes up to 200 for busier races and bigger teams like Red Bull and Mercedes .

Mercedes has two menus throughout the year , an à la carte for guests and partners that changes daily, and a buffet for the team.

Teams have a purchase department that essentially does the shopping in advance, working with local knowledge and translators to source what they need.

Europe is one of the most consistent places for sourcing, and some team members can have home comforts like coffee roasted in London .
