Formula 1 grands prix are set to return to their standard distance in 2028, following a reduction in the maximum race length scheduled for next season.
The change means the shorter maximum distance will apply for the upcoming season before the sport restores its standard race length the following year. No further details have been provided about the scale of the reduction or the reason for the temporary change.
The latest position is that Formula 1 will operate with the shortened maximum distance next season, with grands prix expected to return to their standard length in 2028.
