F1 2027: races shorter, maximum distance cut by 15 km
Formula 1 is preparing a new rules package, including a small reduction in the maximum length of grands prix.
Formula 1 will change again in 2027, and among the planned updates is a small cut to the maximum race distance, reduced by 15 kilometres. The aim is to make some Grands Prix slightly more compact without changing the format.
For Italian fans, used to a packed calendar, the move sits within a broader set of technical and sporting updates. It is a limited adjustment, but one that shows F1 continuing to evolve its regulations.
