Formula 1 races vary in the number of laps depending on the circuit length. The total race distance is approximately 305 kilometers （190 miles）, excluding the Monaco Grand Prix which is about 260 kilometers （160 miles）. The number of laps is calculated by dividing the total race distance by the length of one lap of the circuit. For example, at the Silverstone Circuit in the UK, a lap is 5.891 km, so the race consists of 52 laps to cover roughly 305 km. Similarly, at the Monza Circuit in Italy, with a lap length of 5.793 km, the race has 53 laps. The exact lap count is determined by the FIA before each event to ensure the race meets the distance requirement, providing consistency and fairness across different tracks. |
