F1 | Villeneuve against the 2020 calendar: “It makes Formula 1 boring”
"The new owners of F1, think about revenue"
di Jessica Cortellazzi7 October 2019
This is the point of view of Jacques Villeneuve, 1997 world champion, according to whom the Formula 1 world championship calendar is becoming “too long and boring”. In fact, from next year, with the addition of the Vietnam and Zandvoort races, there will be 22 Grands Prix to compete.
"It's too much", commented the Canadian, interviewed by Championat.
To compensate for the 22 races, the FIA decided to reduce the test days from eight to six.
“It would be better for the fans if there were fewer races and more tests. The new owners of the championship (Liberty Media, ed.) with more races, they see more revenue and that's all that excites them. But I don't think it really benefits Formula 1.
