I voted no as a fan, as i prefer not to be interrupted mid season.
However, from the working perspective, everyone needs a break to recharge their batteries.

It should all start like this Asian rounds (Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi), next Europe (starting from east to west) and finally Canada, North America & Latin America. A big one month break during summers would save cost of transportation of machinery and personnel as I believe majority of F1 personnel are Europe based.
That doesn't really work, because personnel returns home often. I believe they do so every time when there's more than week between races. And same with the cars.

It should be remembered that the teams don't get 4 weeks off but a 2 week shut down, the other 2 weeks are spent working long hours preparing the inevitable big update for Spa or for the smaller teams the Monza specific low downforce package.

They do need a break. But there should be just one long break in the middle of season. Also the gap between races should not exceed 2 weeks at maximum. F1 talks about cost saving, perhaps in Europe they can at least have races every weekend if they go by order. Traveling to Canada after Monaco is a real bad idea.
Also loyal fans always want action round the clock. As a F1 fanatic, I want every weekend to have F1 race, it just makes my time pass better and smooth.

I keep seeing that kind of suggestion come up but it doesn't really work. Having the F1 circus exist in a many months long, nomadic existence on the other side of the world isn't going to solve any problems. It's just going to increase the stress and fatigue of the team personnel.

But as you see majority of the F1 staffing is of European origin and Europe races are clubbed together already with some visits outside the EU (Canada). Still they get to stay at other parts of world for certain phases of season as of now. My suggestion is to remove the likes of Canada from middle of EU rounds. And we can have longer breaks in between the first and second non-EU rounds for personnel's good time at home

Is it the next race yet?
