An F1 race typically lasts about 90 minutes, though the planned maximum time is two hours to complete the scheduled laps. In certain circumstances, such as safety car periods, debris, or red flags stopping the race, the total event can extend up to a maximum of three hours. The race distance is usually set to about 190 miles (305 km), except for special cases like the Monaco Grand Prix, which is shorter at 160 miles (260 km) due to its street circuit characteristics. The number of laps varies by circuit length, but the duration remains roughly around 90 minutes to two hours.
