Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert spoke about the possibility of shortening the championship races.
İdman.biz reports that the head of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, did not rule out the possibility of shortening the distance in the main races.
"Monaco is probably an example of how a shorter race can be achieved. I think it will make the race more intense, so it will be better. I agree with Domenicali that there are very long races.
I remember working on television and looking at the statistics: at the beginning the audience tunes in to the race, then in the middle the interest decreases and the fans come back at the end. If you shorten the race, you can keep the viewer from start to finish. There will always be expectation. You can have two races at the same distance during the sprint weekend. Maybe that will be more attractive to the fans," - GPFans quotes Herbert.
