P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The summer break has now arrived following the opening 14 rounds to the F1 season, sparking a period of calm before the campaign resumes later this month.
After the Belgian Grand Prix, Formula 1 will be on a break for three weeks until the season resumes at Zandvoort. The summer shutdown is a crucial time for teams to rest and recharge. All F1 teams are required to close their factories for 14 consecutive days in July or August, according to the sporting regulations. Despite this rule, teams have some flexibility in choosing when to have their shutdown. During this period, development of the car and new parts is strictly prohibited, but certain activities like administrative work and facility maintenance are allowed to continue. The F1 season will restart with the Dutch Grand Prix on August 23, followed by races in Singapore, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. You can find the complete F1 calendar for 2024 after the summer break on RacingNews365’s website.
