Max Verstappen sent offer to quit Red Bull and join F1 rival keen to be his team-mate<\/h3>\n

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has shot down\u00a0Max Verstappen\u2019s idea to alter the current calendar, as the Red Bull man has been leading calls to trim down the number of races. As many as 24 weekends will make up the 2024 calendar, five more than when Verstappen first made his debut in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman has previously hinted that the rigorous schedule will force him to retire early, as last month doubled down on his stance that the expanded calendar – including six sprint races – asks too much of the drivers. Speaking to Dutch publication Formule.nl, he said: \u201cHas it been enough? Yes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always said 24 race weekends is a lot. It\u2019s not just about the races, but everything around it makes it tough. All marketing activities, the simulator days, the personal sponsorship obligations. In fact, you don\u2019t have any days off left.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often talk about that with people around me. Those are all things that factor into deciding how long to keep going. Of course I am glad that I am in the position that I can make those future decisions myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Domenicali has insisted that Verstappen\u2019s view will not be listened to as continues to amend the schedule, while he appreciates drivers\u2019 comments it does not appear that they will be taken on board – a blow to the Red Bull star\u2019s hopes.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s good that Max gives his opinion,\u201d Domenicali told De Telegraaf. \u201cBut we can’t put the sport in the hands of the drivers, never. Not because I don’t trust them, because I always listen to them, but they also have to know the bigger picture. And they don’t always do that. That’s logical, because their goal is to be as fast as possible in the car. But we as an organization are in favor of doing what is best for Formula 1. And I think we will do that in the last have done for years. Otherwise we would have been in a different position.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can see, MotoGP and other sports are also abandoning the traditional approach and we were the first to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Domenicali also addressed calls for the FIA to step in amid concerns that Red Bull are becoming too dominant, after Lewis Hamilton urged them to take action with either Verstappen or his team-mate Sergio Perez winning every race in the 2023 season so far.<\/p>\n

“I’m not worried about that at all,\u201d the F1 chief added. \u201cThe interest in Formula 1 is enormous, commercially speaking we are still on the rise. And races are sold out everywhere. Max is very dominant, but during the races what is happening further down the field this year a lot. The sport is very healthy.”<\/p>\n
