Jean Todt’s comments about how the F1 worker bees should be honoured to flog themselves for the glory of the sport are grimly illuminating.
If the sport was less consistently terrible, I’d be optimistic that the team principals would protect the wellbeing of their people by telling him to shove the new, never-ending schedule *and* his ‘let them eat cake’ attitude up his bumhole. That way people could still have a decent job they enjoyed but also a life.
as it is, eh.

Speaking to international media Todt cautioned that “it will be a long process before being close to 25 races” and that it would be “speculating” to suggest the number will be reached.

“I already think, including you [the media], we [at the FIA], and I include myself, for other reasons, we are so blessed to be in a world [where] we love what we do,” Todt said.
“We have the passion, we are privileged, whoever is in Formula 1 is privileged.
