Formula 1’s 23-race calendar is “insane”, according to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. “You get to the point where you wonder if it’s getting too much,” Horner told FT. “23 races is an insane number and so is the mileage we have to cover in a season. When Horner entered F1 to become the new Red Bull team’s boss in 2005, there were 19 grands prix – and he thinks that number was around about right. “About 18,” he said when asked how many races there should be now. And they just keep coming up with great venues and great races and it’s difficult to say no,” said Horner.
