Formula 1’s current ‘triple header’ of races through three separate and distant international countries is “on the limit” for team staff. The triple-header, beginning in Mexico last weekend and now dashing with only days in between to Brazil and then Qatar, will leave just two races to run in 2021. “Each race is separated by 12 hours in a plane or so and it’s important that the team and the mechanics are able to preserve their energy,” Alonso said. “Austin is only an hour and a half from Mexico City but that was two weeks ago. It’s strange that some races are separated by two weeks and other races on different continents follow one after the other.”.
