F1 Commission agrees shorter grands prix for 2027
Formula 1’s latest Commission meeting in London agreed a reduction in the maximum grand prix distance for the 2027 season. The change would cut the standard race length from 305km to 290km, subject to FIA World Motor Sport Council approval.
The Formula 1 Commission held its latest meeting in London on Monday, with the FIA later outlining the key agreements reached. Among the items discussed were regulatory changes for 2026 and 2027.
For 2027, the Commission approved a reduction in the total race distance from 305km to 290km. The FIA said the change is aligned with planned refinements to the power unit regulations, including fuel-flow changes, and corresponds to a reduction of roughly two or three laps.
Reports said the plan has been agreed by the Commission and is pending approval from the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council. The FIA statement also said minor changes to the 2026 Sporting and Financial Regulations were agreed.
