Lewis Hamilton Calls Out FIA Announcement Which 'Makes No Sense'
The FIA said the cut avoids costly chassis redesigns as engine rules raise fuel use, while Hamilton says shorter races make no sense.
- Earlier this week, the FIA announced Formula 1 race distances will shrink from 305 km to 290 km for the 2027 season, reducing races by 15km across most grands prix.
- Regulations shifting to a 58-42 power split for 2027 necessitate higher fuel consumption; the FIA shortened races to avoid forcing teams to redesign chassis for larger fuel tanks.
- Lewis Hamilton criticized the plan during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, stating the decision "makes absolutely no sense to me" as he advocates for longer races.
- Hamilton argued races are physically easier than ever, noting that C3, 4, 5 tyre compounds allow longer stints, contradicting the sport's goal of maintaining physical demands.
- Other drivers offered mixed reactions; Russell joked about shorter race times, while Fernando Alonso suggested some circuits have been "killed" by rule changes.
