F1 | Steiner: “Increasing competitions would require serious preparation”

The possibility that is causing much discussion Liberty Medium increase the calendar of races for the next seasons from the current 20 to at least 25. If for next year it has already been announced that it will move to 21 weekends, there are many rumors of a further increase in subsequent seasons.

An eventuality that was not welcomed by many, with Fernando Alonso at the forefront, ready to quit if the scheduled races really became so numerous.

However, he is not of the same opinion Gunther steiner, Haas team principal: “Fernando is lucky because he can afford to leave. For ninth teams it is different and for a long time there has been talk of increasing the number of races, but to do so serious preparation would be needed."

Steiner opened the door to this possibility: “If this path has been taken and it is commercially viable for us, then why not? We want to be in Formula 1, but no one is forced to stay. If someone thinks there are too many races he has full freedom to stop."
