#triple headers

from next season can the fia no longer have triple headers? they think it'll increase entertainment but it's quite the contrary. the drivers are exhausted, mentally and physically. they're prone to more mistakes, which can hurt them and drivers around them.

did you see Lewis after Hungary? did you see Max after Silverstone? Lando in Spa? Charles and Pierre in Monza? they're exhausted. some of them unwell.

it's not safe. it's not fun. it's just capitalistic, so that they can exploit the fans and get more money. so they can attract more people to watch the sport, to get more money. cash, is was and always will be king to the greedy fuckers in charge.

Also I'm about to go fight the FIA or whoever moved France forward if that messes up Romain's test cos he's got a race in Indy that weekend

Yeah the European triple header makes sense to me as you’d usually have Spa and Monza together so it makes some sense to slip Zandvoort in with them.

The American triple header also makes sense geographically as the equipment can travel on the lorries once it’s flown in.

But the S triple header makes no sense as all 3 are separate fly aways and as such should be treated that way - like a Singapore, Suzuka double header they could get away with but Sochi is so close to Europe compared to the other two and the change of time zones and weather conditions is going to be hellish.

The travel alone is gruelling.

Yeah that was my initial thought, I feel like they should only do triple headers when logistically it makes sense - like the American triple header is acceptable in my opinion.

If I remember right the olympics end in early August? Suzuka isn’t planned until early October so it’s hard to tell what’s going to go ahead or not by that time. It appears that FOM and Liberty want to put on all 23 races this year (maybe it’s just to protect the back half of the year) but there’s already talks of Sakhir coming back as well as another Bahrain GP (I love the Bahrain track but 3 races plus testing in one season is a bit much)
