For racers, this is definitely a good step. “This should be introduced as early as next year,”Menu for example Kimi Raikkonen, who is known for giving him conversations with the media they are not exactly at heart and he sees such performances only as competent obligation. For a Finnish veteran, Thursday is one way or another an absolutely useless day.

On the other hand, the racers they express fear, from shortening the racing weekend cannot fully compensate for calendar extensions.
