F1 boss to drivers: "If you DON'T LIKE the racing, you DON'T HAVE to be here!"
Stefano Domenicali has sent a strong message to drivers who say the 24-race calendar is wrong. If Domenicali is to be believed, Max Verstappen can also go into the 3.14s without any problems…
Among other things, the biggest problem with the league for the defending Dutch world champion is the constantly increasing number of competitions.
“Twenty-four is the optimal number that we have been trying to achieve for years in the number of our events. I think that as responsible organizers we announced our race calendar early, so everyone could prepare for it, no one was surprised. I have heard about the dissatisfied, we will talk to them… But if you want to race here, you have to do it when the races are on. And if you don’t like it, you don’t have to go to F1, no one is forcing you to do it!
"The fans want to see these guys on the track as often as possible, and it is our responsibility and duty to make that possible for them. We want to serve them, our partners, everyone who invests in Formula 1. The drivers are the essence of the sport, the magic, we need heroes and they want to see them enjoying what they do..." - said Stefano Domenicali, the first man of F1.
Well, it would be worth asking Max Verstappen or even Lando Norris about all this.
