Formula 1 grand prix races will reduce in lap length in 2027, the FIA announced on Monday.
Given the change to power unit regulations for next season – with the near 50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power seen this year reducing to 58/42 for 2027 – the sport’s governing body has decided, in line with F1 executives, to reduce the minimum total race distance from 305km to 290km.
