Horner: "It's at the limit of human tolerance"

Christian Horner looks ahead to a full calendar in 2021. Initially, the 2020 calendar would also be packed. Because of the coronavirus, there were considerably fewer races, although the time span also became shorter. Horner is therefore still a little uncertain.

Calendar 2021 a lot simpler

Next year there will be no less than 23 races when the coronavirus no longer throws a spanner in the works. On the Red Bull website, Horner writes in his column: "If you look at this season's races, where we had seventeen races between July and the end, it was pretty intense.

"If I look at 23 races spread over a whole season compared to the previous year, it seems a lot simpler." 

Still, Horner thinks it could be the other way around as well.

Calendar 2021 on the brink of human power

"It's still a lot and it's going to be demanding," continues the Red Bull Racing team boss. "Yes, there will be less testing and that compensates for a fraction, but it will be a challenge for all team members. For the drivers it will be a bit less because they will be flying in a bit later.

"There are some great races planned, but of course it is at the limit of human capacity. We are approaching our 300th GP, but with the speed at which races are added to the calendar we can be at 500 in just a few seasons!"
