从2027年F1赛季开始，一场大奖赛将行驶290公里，而非传统的305公里
刘易斯·汉密尔顿不同意从2027年赛季起缩短一级方程式大奖赛的决定，并主张“更长的比赛”才是锦标赛所需要的。
周一宣布，标准大奖赛的长度将从305公里降至290公里，以降低为适配明年起重新设计的动力单元而更换底盘的成本。
2027赛季，内燃机的输出功率将比电能有所增加，为了实现这一额外动力，燃油流量将提高5%。
尽管应对这一变化的一种解决方案是增大油箱容量，但那会使底盘再次变重，而这违背了新规的一个目的。
因此，取而代之的决定是缩短比赛距离，以尽量减少车手燃油耗尽的风险，在大多数赛道上，这将使目前的圈数减少约三圈。
在本周末的阿塞拜疆大奖赛上，当被问及此事时，汉密尔顿表示：“我对此真的不太了解，也不知道他们背后的任何理由。我认为比赛应该更长，因为现在的比赛在体能上比以往任何时候都更轻松。”
“所以缩短赛程我觉得没什么意义。想想这个周末我们用的是[倍耐力]C3、C4、C5，这些轮胎几乎能跑完整场比赛的距离，所以我们有很多比赛都只是一停。
“这不算特别有挑战性，确实有挑战，但他们造的轮胎似乎就是能跑得更久，所以对我来说，有很多场比赛我都希望能多跑几圈。
“说实话，我反而会要求更长的比赛。这项运动本应是最考验体能、最考验心理和身体的运动，有些比赛就是热得不行，最终你被逼到极限，比如新加坡就热得难以置信、要求极高，今年马来西亚也会疯狂。
“但我觉得，那正是你想看到运动员被逼到极限、正好处在他们表现的边缘、不得不真正把身体推向更远的地方，因为这项运动的意义就在于此，不断推高水平、突破边界，所以缩短比赛对我来说完全没有意义。”
马来西亚是巴库之后的比赛，由于中东持续冲突导致巴林站取消，这个东南亚国家自2017年以来首次重返F1。
它曾是F1赛历上的常客，从1999年到2017年每年都举办比赛，2007年首次亮相的汉密尔顿在2014年只赢过一次，那是他七个冠军中第二个冠军的征途。
“我一直喜欢去吉隆坡，在我之前的车队那里有很多美好的经历，”这位法拉利车手说道，他曾随迈凯伦和梅赛德斯在那里比赛。
“这条赛道太棒了。这是一条能带来精彩比赛的赛道，在决定一年中要跑哪些赛道时，这应该成为决策的一部分。”
“就像我们希望为车迷带来精彩的比赛，而不是那种看不到任何超车的比赛，所以我非常欢迎这一点。
“我很期待，这又是一条超级炎热的赛道，将会是一场对体能要求极高的比赛，所以我期待这一挑战。”

Lewis Hamilton disagrees with decision to reduce F1 race lengths
From the 2027 F1 campaign, a grand prix will run for 290km and not the traditional 305km
Lewis Hamilton has disagreed with the decision to shorten Formula 1 grands prix from the 2027 campaign, arguing “longer races” is what the championship needs.
On Monday it was announced that the length of a standard grand prix will go from 305km to 290km to reduce the cost of chassis changes fitting the reworked power units from next year.
The 2027 season will see an increase in the output of the internal combustion engine versus electrical energy and to achieve this extra power, the fuel flow is rising by 5%.
Although a solution to accommodate such a change is to increase the fuel tank capacity, that would make a chassis heavier again and that is against one purpose of the new regulations.
So the decision has instead been made to shorten races to minimise the risk of drivers running out of fuel, and at most circuits this will take around three laps off the current count.
When it was put to Hamilton at this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, he said: “I don't really know anything about it or any of the reasons they put behind it, I think the races should be longer because the races are physically easier than ever before.
“So shortening I don't think makes much sense. If you think about this weekend we had the [Pirelli] C3, 4, 5, that can pretty much do the race distance, so we have a lot of races where it's only a one stop.
“It's not particularly challenging, it is challenging, but they're making tyres that just seem to go longer, so for me there's been many races where I wish we had more laps.
“The opposite that I would be asking for is longer races to be honest. This is supposed to be the sport that's the most physically demanding, mentally and physically, and there are some that are just so hot and ultimately you are on the edge, like Singapore is incredibly hot and demanding, Malaysia will be crazy this year.
“But that's where I think you want to see athletes just right on the edge, right at the edge of their performance, having to actually push their bodies further, because that's what this sport is about, pushing the levels and pushing the boundaries, so shortening the races makes absolutely no sense to me.”
Malaysia is the race after Baku and the South-East Asian country is returning to F1 for the first time since 2017 due to the cancellation of Bahrain amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
It was once a staple of the F1 calendar, featuring every year from 1999 to 2017 with Hamilton, who made his debut in 2007, winning just once in 2014 en route to his second of seven titles.
“I've always loved going to KL and had lots of great experiences there with my previous team,” said the Ferrari driver, who has raced there with McLaren and then Mercedes.
“The track is awesome. It's a track that does give good racing and when it comes to deciding what tracks to go through in the year, that should be a part of the decision making.
“Like we want good races for fans, not ones that you don't see any overtaking in, so I very much welcome it.
“I'm looking forward to it, again it's a super hot circuit, there's going to be one that's physically massively demanding, so I look forward to that challenge.”
