While set-up is currently going on in Montreal ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, the condensed nature of the 2016 calendar means team equipment is also already in Baku. With an eight hour time difference between the two race locations, teams will have a tight turnaround to get packed up in Canada and ready to go again in Azerbaijan. Almost as tight as the Turn 8 complex in Baku, pictured above.
