As the announcement comes that we will be seeing at least one more race next year I wonder what can be done about the breaks. I understand that they need a break at some point but is it my imagination or are there more breaks between races this year? Given a choice of more races or more breaks which would you choose?

Well I would love to have more races and fewer gaps but I know that’s probably out of the question. But some of the gaps seem to be bad for the sport. We’ve got a three week gap now which dampens down the excitement. Then we have two races back to back. And then three weeks until the final. Now this year it may well go down to the final. But with big gaps like this there’s a chance the last few races wouldn’t be noticed.
