Stefano Domenicali rejected concerns about the F1 calendar, which continues to grow season after season. The 2025 calendar<\/a> was unveiled last week, with a total of 24 races scheduled.<\/p>\n

A number of drivers, including the current F1 world champion, Max Verstappen<\/a>, have expressed concerns about this extensive calendar, especially with rumors that Domenicali wants more sprint races.<\/p>\n

The defending champion, Max Verstappen, remains firmly opposed to the idea of additional sprint races. He believes that the calendar is already well beyond the limit.<\/p>\n

\u00ab I suppose that this boosts TV ratings, but it adds more stress on the mechanics, so let’s not start thinking that we should do sprints for half of the races on the calendar, otherwise it will cause chaos.<\/p>\n

However, Domenicali has dismissed any criticism regarding the current F1 calendar. He told Sky Sports: \u00ab I think 24 races is an optimal number with the events we have so far. The good news this year is that I have taken on some kind of responsibility with the teams and promoters, with everyone, by announcing the calendar much earlier than usual so that everyone is prepared. \u00bb<\/p>\n

And of course, it is another step in the direction of trying to regionalize the schedule. We cannot do it completely, but I think we have taken the right step, so I am very happy about that.<\/p>\n

The former Ferrari boss also brushed aside the drivers’ complaints, stating that it is not obligatory to drive in F1. “I speak with them. If you want to drive, you can drive every day. If you do not want to drive in Formula 1, it is not mandatory.”<\/p>\n

\u00ab It’s a matter of respect for the fans. They want to see them race and it’s something for which we once again have responsibility towards all our fans, partners, promoters, sponsors, broadcasters, everyone.<\/p>\n

It is the magic of the sport we live in, because we need heroes who must appreciate what they do. And I’m sure they appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
