"But the main point is just the toll it has on mechanics and engineers. I don't think it's too bad for us as drivers, honestly. I don't think we can be the ones to complain at all. It's the hundreds of mechanics and engineers that we have here that have to travel so much. It's not healthy for them. It is not sustainable." "The problem is not with us so it's not something you should be asking us. It's something that people should look out more for the rest of the team. And I think that's a limiting factor, not the fact of can we go in the car every day, because I think we can but not doing too much for them I think is the priority." Verstappen candidly remarked, "F1 is way over the limit. I won't be racing in Formula 1 for another 10 years doing 24 races per season." Alonso, with years of experience to back his claims, voiced, "This is not sustainable for the future. I think for anyone." His statement points towards an emerging consensus among drivers about the limits of what is reasonable within the sport.
