Max Verstappen has called for change behind the organisation of the increasing length of the Formula 1 calendar, attacking the sport’s grouping of multiple races.
In 2024, Formula 1 is set to have a historic 24-race calendar starting from late March until early December, emphasizing its continuous expansion efforts. The July triple header will include races in Spain, Austria, and the UK, putting teams’ stamina to the test. The season will end with two more triple headers, starting with the United States Grand Prix and concluding with the Abu Dhabi GP in December. This grand finale will follow the Las Vegas and Qatar Grands Prix. Verstappen expressed concerns about the extensive travel between races, advocating for shorter distances between triple headers to enhance efficiency and reduce fatigue. He also highlighted various factors such as ticket sales and team exhaustion that influence the decision-making process for the F1 calendar.
