The FIA has decided that Formula 1 races will be reduced by an average of 15 kilometers next year, lowering the total distance from 305 to 290 kilometers. This adjustment accounts for a 5 percent increase in fuel consumption due to engine modifications scheduled for 2027, which prioritize internal combustion over electric drive. The decision aims to avoid imposing additional costs on teams for larger fuel tanks.
