Kimi Raikkonen has lambasted the decision makers for the number of races in the 2021 F1 season. He spoke his mind at the driver's press conference ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The rampant increase in the number of races in the F1 calendar has been under the spotlight for a while. The likes of Michael Schumacher had a 17-race calendar in 2002, with the last race in October. Two decades later, 2022 will have a 23-race calendar, with the last race in December as the F1 season has stretched to seemingly unsustainable levels.Raikkonen raised his concerns about the same. He said that the races might not be too stressful for the drivers, but it's the team members who suffer more.Lawrence Barretto@lawrobarrettoAn honour and a privilege hosting @kimimatiasraikkonen’s farewell party at @alfaromeoracingorlen HQ at Hinwil.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be the penultimate race for the Finnish driver. He started his illustrious career in 2001, and won the world championship with Ferrari in 2007. More than a decade later, Raikkonen will be racing for the last time in F1, in a Sauber, the team with whom he started his Formula1 journey.
