How Long Is An F1 Race?

A Formula 1 race typically takes between one hour twenty minutes and one hour forty minutes to complete. The two 2026 races run so far, the Australian and Belgian Grands Prix, both finished near the bottom of that range, in a little over one hour twenty-three minutes each.

• Race duration usually runs from one hour twenty minutes to one hour forty minutes, but every race is hard-capped at two hours of green-flag running under FIA rules.
