Valtteri Bottas thinks if the F1 calendar increased to 25 races a season, that would represent an 'insurmountable limit' for team staff.
Valtteri Bottas believes a limit must continue to be implemented in F1 on the number of races allowed per season, otherwise resources will be stretched to a point where “two teams” would have to be employed.
Significant concerns have been raised surrounding the wellbeing of team staff members travelling the world on an already-demanding schedule, which is going to become even further congested next season. “There has to be a limit, I think that beyond a certain number of races for the teams it becomes physically demanding, and we can’t even think about having two teams, an expensive and also complicated scenario to implement,” Bottas explained to the Italian edition of“Personally I think we are very close to the limit, not so much for the drivers, who arrive at the track on Thursday and leave on Sunday evening, but for the staff, who arrive much earlier and leave later.
He revealed that the team is currently on a recruitment drive to catch up to the others, to add to what is already in place for the Hinwil-based squad.
