Thread: Too many practice sessions

There should be less practice sessions per race. I think 3 practice sessions are a bit too much.
Practices should be reduced to 2 sessions or 1 session.
For 2 practice sessions, first practice can be on Friday and second practice can be on Saturday before qualifying session.
For 1 practice session , the practice can be held on Friday and on Saturday qualifyng session only.
Practice sessions tires the races and team members out and that I think causes mistakes. Drivers should be racing more and have less practice sessions
and the sessions are 1 hour which is good enough for the driver to get warmed up before the big day.

There is nothing wrong with having 3 practice sessions at all. It gives the drivers a good look at the track and enough time for the team to work out tyre temperatures and all that stuff.

3 sessions for practice are a bit too many for me as well. But only 1 practice session is not advisable as well. 2 sessions for practice are optimum.

Considering there is no testing allowed during the season, I don't see a problem with the number and lenght of practices.

Can't agree with you more. Anything above 2 is pure wastage of time, money and energy.

I hope that the drivers need some time to race on that track & adjust to the conditions.
I believe that 3 practice sessions are fine for the drivers.
