I'm quite happy with more races.
Shorter winter, if we cant have testing then they may as well be out on track racing.
No reason the European races cant be back to back more often. These guys even the mechanics, are paid a very nice living, it's about time they came out of their offices and earned it.
Nascar manage some 30 odd races a year often going back to back across the country, all the while doing far more interaction with the public than an F1 driver ever has to, so I see no reason at all for them not to do a few more races.

When is it too much? When they have to put chains on the tires for snow because they have run out of nations for GP's and need to run the Grand Prix of Antarctica Grin

All the comparison to NASCAR is pointless. NASCAR travels across a single country in a couple of trucks. F1 is international involving greater distances via land, sea and air and as such requires the logistics to move it. NASCAR, put your car in a truck, give the driver a map and get on with it. Also NASCAR can if required be run out of you own garage as some teams in fact do, try that with an f1 team. The logistics of F1 would probably be the limiting factor.
