When evaluating Carlos Sainz’s appointment to the directorship of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, his opinion on the extensive modern Formula 1 calendar emerges as a pivotal starting point. Sainz’s view underscores his potential value in aiding fellow drivers in their ongoing negotiations with the FIA. The drivers frequently express discontent with the current 24-race schedule and the toll constant travel takes on their personal lives. Sainz, referring to his father’s dedication to motorsport, highlights the challenge of balancing a career with family concerns as drivers age. Amidst such discussions, Sainz contemplates his own future in the sport, envisioning an additional 200 races over the next decade. Beyond his impressive track record of 206 starts, Sainz is poised to represent his colleagues in navigating the evolving landscape of Formula 1 and addressing broader issues within the sport, such as fan engagement and driver conduct regulation.
