I want to give a bit of time back to my family and not be on the other side of the world. It will be the first time in 16 years that Crofty – as he is affectionately known by colleagues and fans – will miss an F1 race. The last race he did miss came in 2007 at the European Grand Prix due to the birth of his son. If the title’s wrapped up early, then it can be a bit ‘another race, another race’ so we’ll see.”. 🏁 Complete F1 2024 race calendar – details on every Grand Prix and start time this year 🏁.
