The primary reason F1 is entering its longest-ever season
As Formula 1 enters a new year, the championship will hold its longest-ever season in 2020. The campaign will run to 22 races, with the possibility of 25 in the future. And there's one reason in particular why the calendar keeps expanding
Race-hosting fees remain the primary way for Formula 1 to boost income, so it was no surprise when a record 22-race calendar was confirmed for 2020.
The 2021 rules make provision for an eventual extension to 25 grands prix, something that few involved, other than the Liberty management and F1 shareholders, want to see.
