Todt: No problem with 22 or 23 F1 races per season

Currently the Formula 1 season has 21 race dates, including a gruelling tripleheader that teams want to avoid ever repeating.

But speaking to Le Figaro, Todt said, "At the moment, I think 21 is a good number. After that, if there are 22 or 23 grands prix per year on the calendar I have no problem with that."

"I think the rights holder is busy doing great work, their team is really trying to do the best job they can to modernize F1 and promote the sport around the world," added Todt.
