Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton have both said that Formula One's long schedule doesn't bother them.
The current 21-race calendar is the longest in the sport's history and although difficult for team and most team members, the two world championship winning drivers have said that the large number of races doesn't faze either of them.

"For me it's no problem," said Button. "I fly in on Thursday morning and most of the time leave on Monday morning."
"For the mechanics it's different, they're probably at home only one day of the week," he is quoted by Brazil's UOL. "It's very difficult for their families."
Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton agreed, saying that he prefers to be travelling.
"I don't mind long flights -- I like to be away from home," he said.
"There are a lot of races this year but, personally, I like the races outside of Europe, usually because the weather is better."
