Almost every F1 race gets the chop in 2027, but one escapes untouched
The FIA has officially confirmed that the race distance at Grands Prix will be reduced from the usual 305km to 290km in 2027 to accommodate the changes to the Power Unit regulations. But how many laps shorter will each race actually be? Formula 1has already confirmed the 2027 calendar, with the championship retaining its 24-round format but introducing several changes to the schedule.
In 2027, Formula 1 will undergo a significant change in race distances due to revisions in Power Unit regulations. The FIA has mandated that all Grands Prix will be shortened from the traditional 305km to 290km. This reduction translates to roughly two or three fewer laps per race, depending on the specific circuit. However, Monaco will be the sole exception, retaining its 78 laps as the circuit's already short length makes further reduction unnecessary.
