F1 2027: 290km race distance reported

Autosport reported Formula 1 grands prix could be cut to 290km from 2027 as power-unit rules change, but no official confirmation has followed.

Autosport reported that Formula 1 grands prix are set to be shortened to 290km from 2027, with the proposed change linked to a revised balance between electrical and internal-combustion power. The move has not been officially confirmed in the source material provided, so it remains a reported plan rather than a final rule.

The same report said the possibility had already been discussed by stakeholders earlier this season during talks over the 2027 technical package. In current grid context, Alpine F1 Team has competed in Formula One since 2021 and, through 2026, has one race win and no constructors' titles.
