Verstappen critical of 22 races of the season: There will be divorces!

Calendar Formula 1 for the season 2020 has grown to 22 dirk and this will lead to divorce, both Max Verstappen. The racers are unanimous that 22 dirk presents ceiling and at the same time express sympathy primarily with the mechanics of the teams. “I don’t think 22 races is good. You should choose only the best trails. I know Formula 1 greats want to make money, but they also have to think about mechanics,”So the 21-year-old Dutchman, who hopes to Liberty Medium however, she came to her senses.

Liberty Media is even in favor of 25 races per season, but racers think this is far beyond acceptable - especially for mechanics.

While they are racers on the scene only from Thursday to Sunday, mechanics have been present since Monday or Tuesday. “The bosses don't show up until Saturday or Sunday morning, and they leave the race before the end,”Is critical Verstappen. “For them, of course, this is not a problem, they can withstand 30 racing weekends in this way, as they are present on the track for a maximum of three days." Mechanics however, they are active for five or six days for each race. “I’m not complaining from a racing point of view, but this is about the mechanics. If we have more races, they can serve you a divorce right now."

Also Sergio Perez agrees with the claims Verstappen. “There is a lot of action, not just for racers. Of course we love racing, but there are a lot of commitments on every racing weekend.“Besides, racers are often not just here to drive on the track. “We have to do the work in the simulator, we have sponsorship obligations, we have to be present at some events and keep fit. There is a lot of that and I think that with this number of races we are exceeding the limit," so Mexican. And if the racers are already filled with obligationsi, then the mechanics are already beyond all bounds. “They have been present at the racetrack since Monday, which they will not leave until Tuesday next week. I believe everyone on the team is already on the verge of acceptable."

Mechanics are most under attack. First, they help set up living quarters and boxes, and then they have to prepare for flawless stops. for them, the racing weekend lasts much longer, between 6 and up to 8 days - Photo: Hasan Bratić

Za Laziness, a two-time father, will not be easy to reunite private and business life. "Yes, we'll see if I get divorce papers,”He joked Mexican. "When I started in Formula 1, we had 19 races and already that was a lot.“But Laziness most concerned with his fellow mechanics. “They will definitely start thinking. I doubt that in addition to Formula 1, they can already lead a family life. This is very difficult. It will go so far that we will need two teams of mechanics to take turns."

Sergio Perez joked that due to more and more races, he will also only receive divorce papers. For a Mexican, so many races are significantly too much and he also sympathizes with the mechanics - Photo: Hasan Bratić

If it will Liberty Media advocated for further races - there is even talk of 25 races per season -, then Perez hopes to have more of them in Evropi. This is for everyone more easily accessible and racers would not have to travel to the race significantly earlier. He agrees with that as well Kimi Raikkonen. "If we had more races in Europe, then I would not object to that. It's easier for everyone. It’s always nice to drive on new tracks, but these should also offer good racing.“When the Finn of the Year 2001 entered v Formula 1, we had on average 17,4 dirk per season. In the second decade new millennium there were already 19,6 per season. For comparison: v 90s years was on average 16,2 races, at the beginning of 50s flight only 8,4 races.

"Individual races are judged through 22 Grand Prix events,”He believes Kevin Magnussen. Mercedes racer Valtteri Bottas however, considers that there should be a limit at some point. Lance Stroll then remark: “But as I was able to understand myself, we will have less testing.“In fact, there will be racers before the start of the season tested less - two days. “I'd rather ride in races than in tests,”Welcomes this decision by young people Canadian.
