With the Formula One season finished and the final race at Abu Dhabi back in December feeling like a very distant memory, now is a great time to look at the importance of drivers (and all of us) having some downtime to rest and recover.
At the time of writing, there are just 71 days until the 2021 season kicks off with FP1 in Bahrain. Now, with the current pandemic situation, it’s very possible that the season start may be postponed, and various race dates changed around like last season. This kind of unknown in its own right can cause underlying anxiety and stress.
