The growth of the F1 calendar, currently at a record 24 races, is a hot topic in the paddock with concerns raised about the physical wellbeing of team members. Despite calls for consideration, Stefano Domenicali believes that with F1’s rising popularity and competitiveness, 24 Grand Prix weekends are not excessive.

Domenicali is open to a rotation system to accommodate new territories while maintaining a balance between old and new races. Thailand and South Korea are among the nations keen to host a Grand Prix, and Europe might be the starting point for such a rotation system.
