Due to the corona outbreak, the Formula 1 2020 calendar has been radically modified, with a significant number of races cancelled, and the season start postponed in July. The championship commenced with three consecutive races in Austria and Hungary, and, after a weekend off, Formula 1 teams undertook another triple-header at Silverstone and Barcelona.

Teams are now expecting another stretch of three races on a raw, as the current calendar might be extended with two races in Bahrain and the return to Turkey.

Max Verstappen said that he understands the commercial needs of having a longer season. Nevertheless, he pointed out that triple headers are the limit for Formula 1 teams.

"I think for the moment, it's fine. We had a long break before," claimed Verstappen.

"I don't see this happening - well hopefully - next year where you keep doing triple-headers. I think that's a bit too much.

"If you can make sure it's like two weekends in a row, I think that's okay. Having a break in between is fine.

"Of course we have to accept it at the moment. We need to get the races in, so we just try to do the best we can.

"I think we have three triple-headers in a row, so that's pretty much the limit I think."

Williams' driver George Russell underlined that he is currently enjoying the busy schedule and the opportunity to compete every weekend. Nevertheless, he remarked that he is concerned about the work-life balance of the teams.

“It does, I’d go away with my mother and father every single weekend on a Friday night to circuits up and down the country, and it’s reminiscent of those days. So the memories are flooding back. 

"I think for me, I’ve been really enjoying it. It allows you just to get in a groove and we’re doing what we love.

“And this is incredible, getting to race around the best tracks in the world.”

"I do feel for the teams – they are feeling it,” Russell added.

“Even after the back of two British grands prix, where they stayed in their own beds on Sunday night.

"It’s going to be really tough on those guys where you’ve got a triple-header away from home, flying between all of the races. 

"I’m loving it, but this is a team sport and I’m thinking of the guys and girls who are working daily at the moment."
