Max Verstappen has said the F1 weekend design "most certainly needs to change" after modifications this season which should make it less tedious for the drivers and staff.
With an always growing schedule, Formula 1 supervisors changed around the end of the week design this season in the possibility that it would give additional downtime for drivers and the groups' staff.
The customary weekend lasting four days was contracted to three days with the drivers' public interviews occurring before the main practice meeting on Friday rather than Thursday.
Be that as it may, with drivers proceeding to do non-FIA media occasions on the Thursday, the progressions have had their faultfinders including ebb and flow World Champion Max Verstappen.
The Red Bull driver portrayed the alleged rest day of Thursdays as "extremely lengthy" and said actually, it has not changed much for the drivers.
"It's about how we are doing the question and answer sessions and the media exercises," he said during last end of the week's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
"I think it was better before in light of the fact that now, our Thursday is extremely lengthy, which authoritatively isn't exactly a day any longer however, for our purposes, is something similar - or significantly more on a Thursday, and, surprisingly, more now on a Friday when you come in right on time.
"Coming in early isn't an issue, yet your entire day is longer, so with going to additional races, you might want to have a more limited end of the week.
"However presently, with additional races, we are likewise having longer ends of the week, or possibly more days that we are at the track and doing stuff, so that most certainly needs to change."
Verstappen disagreed with the manner in which TV interviews are directed. With the composed press, they all protest a gathering and pose inquiries simultaneously yet with TV, it is done separately meaning drivers will frequently respond to similar inquiry on different occasions in a brief timeframe.
When requested how we would change the media obligations, Verstappen featured this.
"We do this press conference, then, at that point, we head outside, then we need to address every one of the singular media," he said.
"Yet, they all pose similar inquiries, and you're essentially rehashing the same thing six or multiple times! You attempt, obviously, to keep it fascinating, to attempt to word it another way, yet, by the day's end, you say exactly the same thing, right?"
Verstappen proposed gathering the meetings for them not to turn flat.
"At the point when they have a question and answer session, there are a ton of mics just united and, rather than giving the telecasters two inquiries every, they all have, fundamentally, whatever, six, eight, 10 inquiries, simply in one go, and they can all communicate it," he said.
"I believe that is additionally much more effective and more pleasant for everybody. It doesn't make any difference assuming that you have 20 mics arranged all from various organizations. You get much more out of the drivers.
"We definitely know that, assuming we leave here, we need to head outside and we need to rehash the same thing something like six to multiple times.
"At the point when you start, it's astonishing the initial two meetings,
"Then, when you proceed to different ones, being boring is going. It's not good for them, it's not pleasant for us, so I figure we can be much more effective with that."
