The Race F1 Podcast · Will a Monaco sprint race work? Our reaction to shock 2027 F1 calendar · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

F one is the only sport where you cannot practice, as you say, your art.

But uh the conditions have been created where it's so condensed.

So flexibility is way more important than f uh getting to one hundred percent.

If you can get to

ninety eight per cent but can do it quickly, you're going to be in this a day and age of F1 very well set to have really good weekends.

And you can argue is that what we want from the pinnacle of motorsport?

Don't we want drivers to be at one hundred percent and teams to be at one hundred percent?

But that's not the way it's structured and it's probably also not financially feasible anymore to do it that that way.

What I would hope for is just to have potentially uh um give the team six test days to use at their own discretion.

Just do that.

We do it now with with Pirelli test days and with with T PC test days, but just give them six days.

I I cannot believe six days would impact their budget to such an extent when you're already doing T P C days.

we're already doing now.

Yeah.

Uh if we all think we're going to a universal calendar with sprint races only, and I believe we are, I think they're looking at Motor GP and saying that's what the way we want to go.

Okay.

But then you on the other side have to give them free test days, six of them that they can use at their own discretion.

Because otherwise how do you develop?

That's another thing with all these

sprint races, where are you bringing upgrades?
