MONZA, Italy, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Formula One will hold a 2027 season launch event in Milan next February with all 11 teams represented, the Liberty Media-owned sport announced on Friday. The February 18 to 20 F1 Live Milan event and fan festival will come two years after an F1 75 launch in London.

Formula 1 has announced the return of a season launch event next season, with Milan hosting the kick-off to 2027.

Formula One races are set to be shorter in 2027 as teams have agreed a plan to cut race distances across the board from 305 kilometres to 290km. Depending on the track, this means two or three fewer laps in each race.
