Max Verstappen has voiced a negative opinion towards Formula 1’s 2024 schedule by saying it’s “not very sustainable for emissions”
The Formula 1 season finale has taken place in Abu Dhabi after a doubleheader with a race in Las Vegas, marking the end of a 22-round season. Fatigue and jet lag have been a challenge for the teams and drivers, particularly with the extensive traveling involved. Next year, the calendar will include two additional races and a triple-header in Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi to conclude the season. World Champion Max Verstappen expressed concerns about the sustainability and impact on the human body due to the extensive traveling. Efforts have already begun to group races together geographically on the calendar for improved sustainability and logistics, but Verstappen and Sergio Perez believe there is still room for improvement to ensure a more normal end to the season and to prioritize the well-being of mechanics and staff. The emphasis is on maintaining the quality of races rather than simply increasing the number of events.
