Mercedes Technical Director James Allison has revealed that a dialogue has begun to introduce a race cap for all Formula
The 2024 F1 calendar is set to have a record 24 Grands Prix, causing concerns about sustainability for the people involved. Discussions are underway between F1 and the sport’s governing body to address this issue within the financial constraints of the cost cap. One proposed solution is to introduce a cap of 20 races for all F1 personnel (excluding drivers) in a 24-race season, allowing for rest and recharge. This would require teams to find alternative methods of coping with key staff absences on certain race weekends. It would also mean that team principals, race engineers, and drivers would have to adjust to changes in personnel and communication.
