Twenty-two races in 2021, 23 in 2022, and who knows how many in the future. The Formula 1 of the next few years is in fact openly aiming at 25 seasonal appointments, without even counting the mini-universe of the Sprint Qualifications. It will be a discipline that will require more and more resistance, especially from the mechanics of the smaller teams, as Kimi seems to warn Raikkonen.
The Finn, who will face the last two races of his career in the Middle East, believes that the increase in Grand Prix will bring many problems to the teams: “It will drain the energies of many people and this will not be good for anyone. As a spectator maybe it’s nice to see all these races, but whoever actually does most of the work gets into great difficulty and will be physically squeezed.“, he said Iceman according to what he reported Nextgen-Auto. “Some teams can’t hire more staff because they don’t have the necessary money. This is not to say that once upon a time life was easier for mechanics. There were tests between races, and I think going from race to race is easier than racing a Grand Prix, testing and then going to another circuit. It used to be no easier, even though there were fewer races“.
