formula 1 she returned to her schedule plan with 23 races, which will - or should - happen in the season 2022. The same number of races should have taken place this year, but the calendar has been shortened to 22 dirk.

And because it's supposed to be the season 2022 due to the World Cup he hosts Qatar, final already in mid-November, the calendar will also contain unpopular threes. The first will be in line after the summer break and it is formed by races in Belgium, Nizozemski in Italy, as it was this year. Another threesome however, it is logistically more demanding, as Formula 1 is expected to host in three consecutive weekends Russia, Singapore and on Japan. To this must be added stupid and incomprehensible a sequence of races that require incomprehensible journeys from one end of the world to the other. Let's mention just one example: Miami is scheduled as the 5th race, Austin than 20.!?

Kimi Raikkonen warns against a challenging calendar of Formula 1 races with 23 races, which in his opinion could lead to employee burnout.

Raikkonen as a result, it will not be affected, as after the end of this season farewell from Formula 1, for all others who remain, however, he expresses concernto be due extensive calendar racing people suffered from burnout. “A lot of people will burn out and it won’t be good for anyone. So I think it might be nice for the viewer to have a lot of races, but for people who actually do most of the work, it’s very difficult. There must be some better way to do this. For some teams, there is simply no way to hire more people because they don’t have the money. It's a little complicated,”Is popular Iceman said in an interview for the portal GP Fans.

He is the most experienced racer in Formula 1 Raikkonen raced through an expanding calendar, ever since his christening season of the year 2001when it was still 17 dirk. But then the racers did during the races a lot of testing, so the schedule for them was still demanding, probably as much as it is now, I think Raikkonen. Of course, there was none in Formula 1 until 2018 triplets, a concept that has proven to be very important for teams unpopular. However, these threesomes have returned over the years 2020 in 2021 as a means of breaking through races during a pandemic.

About the theory that there was a schedule Formula 1 easier in his early years of his career, is Raikkonen said: “There were tests during the races, so I think more races are actually better than racing, then testing for a few days and then on to the next race. So I don’t think there was anything easier that way. There were only fewer races. I was at home during all the races, only two days, but I enjoyed my time with my family and I have no problems with time differences. It's different with mechanics and the multitude of people who work all day," Ends Raikkonen.
