    23 GPs!?

    So New Jersey just got confirmed as the 22nd Grand Prix for 2014, which is actually 23 Grands Prix since India is merely taking a one season break. At what point is the calendar actually saturated? I am led to understand that it's more the backroom boys than the drivers themselves for whom this is too much...

    I don't see a problem with it.

    There are 4 pre-season tests, so dropping them and adding more races wouldn't increase the workload.

    Way way too many. 16 races is about right. From March to October one every two weeks.

    Wow 22 or 23 races.

    Didn't even realise Mexico was ready for 2014.

    I personally think 18-20 is just about right and on the limit. 23 could be most Sundays every Summer. Which I would still watch, but I have other interests too so I would struggle to fit it all in.

    Cant see teams being particularly happy though. Maybe it is time for rotation of team personnel.

    Let's hope this doesn't cause a major implosion.

    Too many - its not Nascar!

    18 is enough, from March to October.

    Don't forget that Thailand are claiming they are on the bill for 2015 too!

    One every week of the year would be nice. Maybe with a month break in between.
