The F1 Calendar Is A HUGE Problem (And Why Driver's Threaten To Retire)
So this was something I came across recently, now obviously these two drivers being Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen could possibly just be saying that just to get the FIA to do something, or a larger paycheck nest year. But in all honesty though, the F1 2024 Calendar looks very concerning for the Personnel and everyone that is in the F1 community. Its cool for us to have 24 races this year but its also going to be a hassle for those who are participating in making the races work. Its pretty concerning for all the Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and every other team's staff and I hope they can all pull through with the demanding schedule.
Fyi, Lewis Hamilton didnt threaten to retire and neither did Charles Leclerc.

@@marcstafanov8431 no worries, yeah it's a bit tough to say what tracks give good racing and what tracks don't deliver on that. One thing I did not mention for obvious reasons is to "bring old tracks back", since F1 can't say "we're racing back again at Malaysia" without money being involved I did not bother on mentioning that, but like, those are the tracks that most F1 fans don't identify F1 with. For example, I identify F1 with tracks such as Spa, Silverstone, Monaco, Monza, Spain, Canada, Imola, Austria, Australia, Brazil etc, not only because I like them, but because I truly identify the sport with them. If we can have good tracks, good marshalls and good FIA regulations we can have good racing. Thanks for replying back and reading mate. Have a good one

The growing calendar is a problem for the drivers and teams due to fatigue, but even from an entertainment point of view a huge calendar is also a problem. Too many races means that each one carries less weight and you don't look forward to it as much. An F1 youtuber called Aiden Millward, a guy in his 30s who watched F1 in the 1990s, said in a video that the 4-week wait for the 1998 title decider added to the anticipation for the race.

4 months late (but I got to see how much your videos have evolved since this one) but I think that in the long term the F1 calendar would be better if there were no more than 20 races a year, leaving the European GPs that take place on racetracks (and Monaco, as boring as that may be) permanent, while the GPs that take place on street circuits, those of America, Asia and the Middle East should rotate from year to year, in order to make each season varied and therefore the teams' strategies would also be more varied. Also, REMOVE SPRINT RACES FFS

24 races is just to much you have 5 drivers born before 1990. And age over 34 and you expect them to train for a race once a day between th 14th February - 8th December and then lose 4 kgs of weight during a normal 2 race and then practise and qualifying, having a crash at least 2 crashes during a season and probably 15Gs.

It's simple for drivers who are not going to be driver's title contender. Race for 18-20 or 21 races and step out to make way for reserve drivers. This way they get a taste of real F1 race and not just a practice session at some point in the year. May be this is what FIA is looking forward to.

If they want to retire that is up to them, there are many who will happily take their places. Maybe this will actually make it better for young drivers and staff to get into the sport since the older drivers won't be able to keep up with the pace.

Yes I know money but I personally don't think F1 should be about money, at least not this much, it feels way too corporate now. We also don't need more than 1 race in the US and that should either be at COTA, Indy road, or potentially something like Road America or Watkins Glen if they were to become Grade 1 tracks.

The schedule will always be an issue. If you think of the "environment" and drivers by cutting back travel by grouping race, don't forget there are certain places who don't care. *cough* arab region and 'murica *cough* Oil providers and "freedom" fighters. As the popularity grows again the more places want a race(s). Right now, F1 is stuck between tradition and growth to audiences they have either tried to (Stars and Stripes) or places who want to (please come and see our amusement parks and purdy buildings before our oil supplies are drained and we realise we live in a sandpit and nothing else).
