"My understanding is that everything is now clear. Everyone will be here and ready for the race," said Travis Auld, director of the Formula 1 race in Australia, during a press conference on Monday morning.
Auld later told Channel Nine that around 500 people from Europe will be flown in on three chartered planes.
