There was a feeling of lethargy in the Formula 1 paddock as the 2023 season reached its conclusion in Abu Dhabi. That has to be a warning for 2024 (and beyond) when the championship tackles a record 24 races
There was a sense of exhaustion and lack of excitement in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which served as a warning for the upcoming 24-race Formula 1 calendar in 2024. The race felt overshadowed by the previous event in Las Vegas, where drivers and fans alike were left drained. While the Abu Dhabi race had some championship intrigue, it couldn’t compare to the excitement of the season’s best race in Vegas. The Yas Marina circuit, although well-equipped, is not the ideal venue to end a season. Suggestions to improve the racing have been inconclusive, as the track is more focused on style than substance. The lackluster race reflects a concern about the overall weaker sporting competition in the 2023 season. With an expanded calendar in 2024, it becomes even more crucial to deliver a thrilling finale that keeps fans engaged.
