Until now, Ben Sulayem had been reluctant to expand beyond six sprints per season, citing the impact on FIA personnel workload and finances. But as previously reported, FOM is understood to be keen to hit double digits as soon as the 2027 season, as sprint weekends have had a net positive impact on race promoters and the commercial side of the business.

10 sprints per season? No thanks.

I definitely was getting fatigue this season. 18-20 max would be my sweet spot tbqh. The capitalist approach I would say will lead to people not following so closely over time since it's too time consuming but it may just be me

Same, even with ignoring sprints. Races don't feel special any more. But yeah, they only care about viewing figures.
