F1 will embark on a record-breaking 24-race calenda🎶r in 2024, with the season kicking off on February 29 with FP1 in Bahrainℱ.

The ending of the F1 2023 was criticised b🤡y many due to the timing of the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, which was just one-week before the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi.

This left many, includi𝔍ng Russell, feeling under the weather at the end of a gruelling F1 campaign due to the major time zone difference between Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

• F1’ཧs six sprint races for 2024 revealed, including two new venues

☂2024 will be 24 races long with the re-introduction of China, as well as Imola, whi🌊ch was cancelled due to flooding this year.

Tꦛhere𒅌 will also be six sprint events, meaning there will be technically 30 ‘races’ in 2024.

Russell thinks changes wil꧟l have to be ༺made to the calendar “geographically” to make it easier on the teams.

“Everybody up an🌌d down the paddock – I’ve got so many mechanics who are ill, people inꩲ the engineers’ office,” Russell said.

“They have really struggled with the constan🐟t timezone shifts, the body not knowing where you are, eating at different times, staying in different hotels, different environments, different climates. The body’s getting confused.

“I think there are talks for next year about personnel being ꦗregulated, that they can’t do every single race. I think that would be a good thing.

“I don’t think it’s sustain൲able for 4,000 people, I think it is, to do 24 races a s𒁃eason, especially when you see how geographically it still doesn’t make a huge amount of sense.”
