F1 will embark on a record-breaking 24-race calendar in 2024, with the season kicking off on Fe꧋bruary 29 with FP1 in Bahrain.

The ending of the F1 2023 was criticised by many due to the timing of the inaugural Las Ve🌞gas Grand Prix, which was just one-week before the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi.

This left many, including Russell, feeling under the weather at the end of a gruelling 𒀰F1 campaign due to the major time zone difference between Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

• F1’s six sprint races for 2024 revealed, including two new v𒈔enues

2024 will 🌳be 24 races long with the re-introduc༒tion 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’🤪 in 2024.

Russell thinks changes will have to be made to the calendar “geographꦍically” to make it easier ൩on the teams.

“Everybody up and down the paddock – I’ve g🍌ot so many me🐻chanics who are ill, people in the engineers’ office,” Russell said.

“They have really struggled with the constant timezone shifts, the body not knowing where y♌ou are, eating at different times, staying in different hotels, different environments, different climates. The body’s getting confused.

“I think there are𓆏 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 geographic𒁏ally it still doesn’t make a huge amount of sense.”
