There is good news for the Turkish GP which will take place in the second weekend of October. The United Kingdom has altered the travel advice to Turkey on Friday and removed the country from the red list.
Turkish GP accessible for teams
The Secretary of Transport has confirmed that Turkey is no longer on the UK's red list of travel destinations. This means that the teams based there can probably travel to Turkey without too much trouble.
After the upcoming race in Sochi, there will be a week of no racing and the teams will return home to the factories. As most of the teams, except for Ferrari and Alphatauri, are based in England, this is good news for F1.
