Formula 1 set to shorten Grand Prix races from 2027
The F1 Commission has approved shorter Grand Prix distances, with the change expected to arrive in 2027. Sprint races are set to gain more importance.
Formula 1 is preparing for a major shift: from the 2027 season, Grand Prix races are expected to be shorter than they are today. The decision came from the F1 Commission, which backed a revised race format aimed at making events more compact and direct.
The package of changes also includes a bigger role for Sprint races, which are becoming more and more central to the weekend. For Italian fans, it means a championship even more focused on TV spectacle and fast-paced action, with fewer racing laps than the current standard.
