Carey plays down 2018 ’triple header’
"It would have been difficult for promoters"
Chase Carey has played down the ’triple header’ that will take place in F1 next year.
On the bustling 21-race calendar for 2018, three events - France, Austria and Britain - will be held on subsequent weekends.
Carey, who has replaced Bernie Ecclestone as F1 CEO, said the back-to-back races are to avoid a clash with the World Cup final.
"It would have been difficult for promoters to have to compete with the final of a World Cup," he said.
"It’s important to notice that all of the races of the three are in Europe. I think the calendar is well thought out," added Carey.
