Russell: It’s weird to race in the Middle East and then in America

George Russell spoke about the calendar in Formula 1. He would like to see a more balanced calendar, as due to the large number of flights, drivers get tired.

George suggests an obvious idea – to link the Grand Prix according to the geographical principle, which will save time.

And the time in the next season, which will probably consist of 24 Grands Prix, will be of critical importance.

George Russell: «A lot has been said about the calendar lately, but you must agree – it's weird to race in the Middle East, then in America, then in Europe.

I think the calendar will be optimized in the coming years. Most fans don't care in what order the stages follow each other.

When determining the date of the Grand Prix, there are many restrictions related to the climate, certain events, and the availability of street trails.

But obviously, the race in Australia should take place next to the race in the Middle East. As a result, everyone will get an additional three or four days».

Previously, many drivers have already spoken about this problem, referring to the fact that if people make the calendar in Formula 1 more convenient for drivers, then it will be much more comfortable for both fans and the racers themselves.
