McLaren’s reigning world champion Lando Norris says Formula One’s plan to shorten races next year is a “good” compromise. He argues the change would improve the racing by keeping competition tighter, rather than allowing races to stretch longer.
The move follows a decision by the FIA’s Formula One commission to reduce the standard Grand Prix distance from 305 km to 290 km starting in 2027, which would cut race length. Other reported details were not included in the provided excerpts, but the change reflects an attempt to balance sporting goals with logistical and regulatory considerations.
Both outlets attribute Norris’s comments to Wednesday, presenting his position as supportive of the FIA’s direction. In the coverage provided, the emphasis is on the potential effect on on-track action, with Norris portraying the adjustment as an interim solution rather than a final answer.
