F1 will eꦡmbark on a record-b🎃reaking 24-race calendar in 2024, with the season kicking off on February 29 with FP1 in Bahrain.

The ending of the F1 2023 was criticised by many due to the timing of the inaugurౠal Las Vegas Grand Prix, which 𒐪was 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 F1 campaign due to the majoౠr time zone difference between Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

2024 will be 24 races long with 🐬the re-intr𒉰oduction of China, as well as Imola, which was cancelled due to flooding this year.

There will also be six s♏print ev🐼ents, meaning there will be technically 30 ‘races’ in 2024.

Russell thinks ch🌳anges will have to be made to the calendar “geographically” to make it easi♏er on the teams.

“Everybody up and down the 🔴paddock – I’ve got so many mechanics who are ill, people in the engineers’ office,” Russell said.

“They have really strugꩲgled with the constant ti♔mezone 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 abꦅout personnel being regulated, that they can’t do every single race. I think that w﷽ould 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 𓆏how geographically it still doesn’t make a huge amount of 🐻sense.”
