Fans “pay a bit less attention” to Formula 1 as calendar gets longer – Sainz | Formula 1

Carlos Sainz Jr. has expressed concerns that the expanding Formula 1 schedule may diminish fan engagement by making the sport feel less like an exclusive event.

While he personally enjoys watching more racing, he suggests that the current density of the calendar could lead to viewers paying less attention to individual rounds. The driver also highlighted the physical and mental toll that the current stretch of triple-header events places on team personnel, noting that the Grand Prix Drivers' Association considers 24 or 25 races to be the absolute maximum for the championship.
