JAKARTA - Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso clearly expressed his rejection of the plan to increase the number of Formula One (F1) races in the 2024 season. He felt the proposal would make the season even more crowded.
It is planned that the 2024 F1 season calendar will be made more crowded with 24 series, where in certain weeks a sprint race will be held. This made Fernando Alonso feel uncomfortable personally, because he considered that the number was too much compared to the schedule in recent years.
"What I don't like? I think I like everything. Oh, maybe (with) a calendar (ballboard) next season," Fernando Alonso was quoted as saying by Fox Sports MX on Tuesday, October 31.
"Too many races. 24 races plus sprints, plus marketing events. Maybe we should look at (the feasibility) in the future," he said.
With the plan to organize 24 series in the 2024 season, that number will be two more series than this year. China's GP will also be held again next year for the first time after being passed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
In addition to the Chinese series, F1 for the 2024 season will also include the Imola Circuit in Italy which will return to host, after this year's edition was canceled due to flood constraints.
Despite Alonso's objections regarding the tight F1 calendar next season, the 42-year-old racer was able to make a fairly good performance by occupying fifth position in the standings list this season.
The Aston Martin Aramco rider was able to collect a total of 183 points or collect the same value as the Ferrari driver, Carlos Sainz Jr, who was above him.
Alonso's best achievement this season is to occupy the runner-up position he got three times when appearing at Monaco, Canada, and the Netherlands.
