Formula 1 has been in a period of major boom in the last few years. The interest of fans is going by the roof every year and ahead of the upcoming British Grand Prix, the hierarchy of the sport has released the F1 calendar for 2024. As per the whole schedule, there will be a total of 24 races taking place next year.
Formula 1 wants to maintain a balance between the demand and well-being of all the personnel related to the sport and thus has decided to only increase the number of races by just one event. The ongoing campaign was originally planned to host 23 but because of what happened in Imola, the number has gone down.
While there is one race short in 2023, the fans have reacted to the release of next year’s F1 calendar. In 2024, fans would have the opportunity to tune into 24 races and several have shared their reactions with the globe. F1’s fans never shy away from making their reactions known and the same has happened in the above case.

Looking at the above reactions, it is pretty clear that the fans of the pinnacle of motor racing have a divided opinion on next year’s calendar.

Formula 1 needs to have a serious look at driver safety
While the 2024 Formula 1 season is going to witness 24 races taking place, one thing that has again become a big point of discussion is the safety of the drivers. Dinalo Van’t Hoff, an 18-year-old racing driver, recently lost his life in a crash at Spa, and that has led to major questions getting raised around driver safety.
Since the unfortunate demise of the Dutch driver, several F1 drivers have shared their opinion on the safety of drivers and have raised their concerns. Keeping this in view, it is believed that F1 and the FIA are going to hold a mudguards test at Silverstone after the upcoming British Grand Prix.
The drivers are the ones who risk their lives every time they take their cars for a spin around F1 racks and considering how hard they push their machinery, their concern is totally understandable. Do you see more changes taking place around the safety of drivers for the 2024 Formula 1 season?
