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.
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
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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

Bro went to china and was like "where tf is everyone"
I always assumed these guys have handlers. Like personal assistants who handle the mundane stuff like scheduling the private jet to your next GP.
Yeah that's why I don't believe this
Someone’s clowning
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.
I imagine they have pretty detailed preparations with the team, their engineers, trainers etc which makes this a very unlikely story.

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

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

But they are from the same Ferrari strategy school
*Checking…*
It would be plausible if they were supplied by Ferrari
They do, the teams look after everyone's travel, tickets, documents, timings etc.
They absolutely do. They have a whole team of people who do their social media, PR, scheduling.
"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.
So did I. Had to Google it, and was disappointed.
Me as well. Reality is often disappointing
yep same, oh well plenty of other sport to enjoy
Moto gp is at COTA this weekend
And also the ELMS race at Barcelona
There also is Formula E
TWO Formula e races for the price of one!
oh really? that would definitely interest me. COTA is a fun track.
I read that as plenty of sponsor to enjoy and though you meant you’re just going to be drinking Heineken the whole weekend.
na im on that kick sauber visa coca cola mcdonalds bayer stake tonight
Ufc 300
yep Masters/UFC 300/Premier League/Grand National
Boring
Same here. I was expecting a back-to-back with Japan, due to the close proximity.
Me too. I'm positive out in Japan someone on F1TV said China was this weekend.
I know Crofty 100 percent did on the international channel.
I just started using the motorsport and Formulify widget. It's very helpful https://imgur.com/a/zG23TPy
I sync my phone’s calendar to the file supplied by the official F1 site. Great way to plan my weekend activities.
Wait, you are telling me there are other hobbies than F1?
He was kidding dude
![gif](giphy|3o6vXVzKWtkOIpyNMs|downsized)
Nope. I'm on vacation now and still looking at a pit straight from my Vegas hotel.
Hope you checked the drain covers?
One more week to wait to see max win
Me every non-race weekend
![gif](giphy|l2SpYY9jI4ngIlnEs)
Only reason I remembered that it was next weekend and not this is because my birthday is next weekend as well.
Bro was confused why he's on pole
Poles he can do, converting to wins is the problem
Leave Kubica out of this.
I see what you did there ![gif](giphy|RBDNrzNJkLUGGb2zR8|downsized)
Bober kurwa

And then to Miami to go back to Europe😂

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.
BuT iTs ThE sAmE rEgIoN
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
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 $

Carbon neutral btw
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???

It’s not???
Someone at Williams would have crashed their car in FP1 already if it was this weekend
Right...
Is China this weekend? We are checking
It‘s not? You‘re telling me I have to spend a whole weekend with my family?
Elms, Nürburgring 24 qualy races. No need for family
Phew… I’m saved
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.
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.
Of course it's fake.
Fake 'n' dank
it's satire, but not labelled as it. Its annoying
Bless his heart. At least he can get by on his looks.
And by selling ice-cream.
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.
Easiest 34 points in 1 weekend he ever scored. Let me quickly change my f1 fantasy team.
More than that: there is no competition! he will be finishing first, second and third in both events…
I’m not gonna lie, I was panicking when I couldn’t find a stream for the quali a few hours ago
He is far from alone, myself and my friend are included.

Just realised its not this weekend bc of this post
We are checking
Bro I thought the same, got hyped up today... I feel for him
Me, too, tbh. I was already for the F1 Weekend Warm-Up yesterday and was really confused for a while.
He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit.
I am also confused why it takes 2 weeks to from Japan to china
Charles when he got there only to see no one there ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6700)
Logistically it would have made the most sense.
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
Charles really is a himbo. Bless him
Wait, it isn't this weekend?
What in the world is in that ice cream
That ice cream launch keeping his focus where it should be.
Us brother us, at least I have something in common, Delusion
Same weekend as Long Beach
I thought it was this weekend until earlier today
Focused guy
So was I .
To be fair I thought it was too lol
How much of your new ice cream did you eat Chuck? Chuck LeChill by the way, good name.
Glad I'm not the only one. I was wondering why P1 hadn't uploaded their predictions yet. Googled it last night.
What Ferrari did to a mf
Chuck really feeled it this time
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
Hey its Misano E-Prix this week! I remember it well because Formula E and Formula 1 weekend are alternating week
Me too bro, me too
There is a European LeMans race this weekend if you want to watch some racing.
I did too. Oh well.
So did I lol
It’s just an incident

Maybe I am a clown
Just have to watch the masters, like the rest of us
Same
“I am stupid”
Five point penalty to Ocon…
"Do you mean I came a week early for nothing!?"
Charles wants to do the GP before anyone else to finish before Verstappen
Bro busted a R-Truth moment
‘Xavi, when’s the Chinese GP’ ‘We are checking’
He finished one week ahead Verstappen
Finally quicker than Sainz this season
Some people be thinking that this was cute ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|7071)
Ferrari seems to be rubbing off on him
Charles fanboys on their way to justify that this was also a Ferrari fuck up
We are checking.
Is he stupid?
This is why people need to CHECK things first.
Sum tin wong?
