FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated that the federation cannot support a 25-race Formula 1 calendar due to logistical issues, emphasizing that 24 races already stretch their capacity. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali agrees that 24 is preferable. Discussions are ongoing about potential new venues, including Argentina, Thailand, and South Korea. Ben Sulayem warned that exceeding 24 races could impact drivers' well-being and require additional team support.
