F1 wꦅill embark on a record-breaking 24-race calendar in 2024, with the season kicking off on February 29 with FP1 in B🔴ahrain.

The ending of the F1 2023 was criticised by many due to the timing of the inaugural ꦅLas Vegas Grand Prix, which was just one-week before the season-endi💃ng race in Abu Dhabi.

This left many, including🔯 Russell, fee♒ling under the weather at the end of a gruelling F1 campaign due to the major time zone difference between Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

• F1’s ꦰsix sprint races for 2024 revealed, including two new 🐬venues

2024 will be 24 races lon♒g with the re-introduction of China, as well as Imola, which was cancelled due to flooding this year.

There will also be six sprint events, meaning there will be technically 30 ‘races’ i🧸n 2024.

Russell thinks changes will have to be made to th🐲e calendar “g✨eographically” to make it easier on the teams.

“Everybody u🐟p and down the paddock – I’ve got so many mechanics who are ill, people in the engineers’ officeཧ,” Russell said.

“They have really struggle🍃d with the constant 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 th♎ink there are talks for next year about personnel being regulated, that they can’t do every single race. I think that would be a good thing.

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