F1 to Expand Sprint Races to 10 in 2027, Including Monaco
Formula 1 will increase the number of sprint race weekends from six to 10 starting with the 2027 World Championship, according to BBC Sport.
Formula 1 will increase the number of sprint races on its calendar from six to 10 for the 2027 World Championship, BBC Sport reported.
According to the report, the expanded sprint format will for the first time include the Monaco Grand Prix, a race traditionally held under a standard weekend format.
Sprint races, introduced by Formula 1 in 2021, are shorter events held on Saturdays that award points separately from the main Grand Prix on Sunday. The format has been gradually expanded since its introduction, with six sprint weekends currently held each season.
BBC Sport did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding which other circuits will host sprint races in 2027 or the specific format changes planned for the additional events.
Formula 1 has not yet issued a separate public statement confirming the full details of the 2027 calendar changes beyond what was reported by BBC Sport.
