  • The F1 Calendar Is A HUGE Problem (And Why Driver's Threaten To Retire)
    So this was something I came across recently, now obviously these two drivers being Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen could possibly just be saying that just to get the FIA to do something, or a larger paycheck nest year. But in all honesty though, the F1 2024 Calendar looks very concerning for the Personnel and everyone that is in the F1 community. Its cool for us to have 24 races this year but its also going to be a hassle for those who are participating in making the races work. Its pretty concerning for all the Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and every other team's staff and I hope they can all pull through with the demanding schedule.
    Fyi, Lewis Hamilton didnt threaten to retire and neither did Charles Leclerc.

      @@marcstafanov8431 no worries, yeah it's a bit tough to say what tracks give good racing and what tracks don't deliver on that. One thing I did not mention for obvious reasons is to "bring old tracks back", since F1 can't say "we're racing back again at Malaysia" without money being involved I did not bother on mentioning that, but like, those are the tracks that most F1 fans don't identify F1 with. For example, I identify F1 with tracks such as Spa, Silverstone, Monaco, Monza, Spain, Canada, Imola, Austria, Australia, Brazil etc, not only because I like them, but because I truly identify the sport with them. If we can have good tracks, good marshalls and good FIA regulations we can have good racing. Thanks for replying back and reading mate. Have a good one

    The growing calendar is a problem for the drivers and teams due to fatigue, but even from an entertainment point of view a huge calendar is also a problem. Too many races means that each one carries less weight and you don't look forward to it as much.
    An F1 youtuber called Aiden Millward, a guy in his 30s who watched F1 in the 1990s, said in a video that the 4-week wait for the 1998 title decider added to the anticipation for the race.

We also don't need more than 1 race in the US and that should either be at COTA, Indy road, or potentially something like Road America or Watkins Glen if they were to become Grade 1 tracks.
