F1车队同意2027赛季将比赛距离从305公里缩短至290公里
F1车队已达成一致,计划从2027赛季起将比赛距离全面从305公里缩短至290公里,以应对新规则下燃油需求上升带来的问题。
一级方程式比赛将在2027年缩短,各车队已同意一项将比赛距离全面从305公里削减至290公里的计划。
在为防止赛车出现能量匮乏而修改规则之后,明年的燃油流量率将会提高。
但这一旨在提升观赏性的举措给车队带来了其他麻烦,因为流经发动机的燃油越多,完成一场比赛距离所需的燃油就越多。
对于那些按照2026年要求设计了当前油箱尺寸、且不想在下赛季打造全新赛车的车队来说,这是一个问题。
成本上限中已作出相应安排,给那些计划沿用底盘的车队提供一些额外的开支自由度以便进行改装,但与此同时还采取了一些措施,尽量减少赛车预期的行驶里程。
在油耗流量调整方案获得同意后,各方开始讨论是否有可能将部分比赛的赛程缩短几圈,另外还作出了一项调整,即限制车手在进入发车格之前只能进行一次编队圈。
但在与车队就哪些比赛需要调整进行讨论的过程中,各方清楚地意识到,如果整个赛季的比赛距离各不相同,可能会产生一些意想不到的后果。
据了解,当时存在部分比赛演变成燃油经济性测试的风险。
因此,在国际汽联(FIA)与各车队进行对话之后,各方一致同意,整个赛季的大奖赛最好采用统一的比赛距离,就像现在这样。
据Autoracer.it最先报道,这一想法如今已获得各车队的一致支持,目前正在推进将其写入规则手册。
多年来,F1的比赛距离一直是完成超过305公里所需的最少圈数。唯一的例外(除了安全车起步的大奖赛之外)是摩纳哥大奖赛,其比赛距离为260公里。
各车队同意的这项明年生效的改动,将使所有比赛(摩纳哥除外)缩短至约290公里——也就是把各站比赛减少大约三圈。
虽然这一距离的调整得到了各车队的支持,但在写入2027年运动规则之前,仍需经过一个正式的程序。
这意味着需要向F1委员会提交修订后的规则,该委员会由车队、国际汽联(FIA)和FOM组成。一旦在该委员会获得批准,随后还需要国际汽联世界汽车运动理事会予以批准。
据了解,由于动力单元规则在如此晚的阶段进行修改所带来的妥协,比赛距离的缩短目前仅就下个赛季达成了一致。
不过,如果发现计划在2028年实施的额外燃油流量修改引发更多麻烦,各车队可能会决定将该距离维持更长时间。

Formula 1 races are set to be shorter in 2027, with teams having agreed a plan to cut race distances across the board from 305km to 290km.
In the wake of changes being made to the regulations to stop cars being so energy-starved, fuel flow rates are being increased for next year.
But the move to improve the spectacle has triggered other headaches for teams, because more fuel going through the engine means more is needed to complete a race distance.
That was a problem for teams that had built their current fuel tank sizes around the 2026 requirements and did not want to make an all-new car for next season.
Allowance has been made in the cost cap to give teams that were planning to carry over their chassis some extra spending freedom to make modifications, but alongside this were also moves to minimise the distance cars were expected to run.
Once the fuel-flow tweak had been agreed, discussions opened about potentially reducing some race distances by a couple of laps, with a further change being made in limiting drivers to just a single formation lap before the grid.
But amid the talks with teams about which races needed to be targeted for adjustment, it became clear that there could be some unintended consequences if there was a variety of race distances throughout the season.
It is understood that there was a risk of some events turning into fuel-economy runs.
So, following dialogue between the FIA and teams, it was agreed that it would be better to have a universal distance for a grand prix throughout the season, as there is now.
As first reported by Autoracer.it, this idea has now received unanimous support from teams so moves are in play to have it added to the rulebook.
For years now, F1 race distances have been the fewest number of laps required to exceed 305km. The only exception to this (beyond when grands prix start behind the safety car) is the Monaco GP, which runs to 260km.
The change agreed by teams for next year would result in all races (apart from Monaco) being reduced to around 290km - so will pull the events back by around three laps.
While the change in distance has been supported by teams, it still needs to go through a formal process before it is put into the 2027 sporting regulations.
This means revised regulations need to be proposed to the F1 Commission, which is made up of teams, the FIA and FOM. Once approved there, it will then need ratification by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council.
It is understood that the reduction in race distance is currently only agreed for next season because of the compromise caused by the change of power unit rules at such a late stage.
However, teams may decide to keep it at that level for longer if it is found that the additional fuel-flow changes planned for 2028 cause further trouble.
