Hi steve, just wondered how do they decide how many laps are in each grand prix, as there are always different amounts.

Race has to be less than two hours. Usually it is the number of laps that will bring about a race just under the two hours. If, for whatever reason, the race looks like it will run over two hours, it will be stopped a lap before the two hours. Every race is X laps, or two hours, whatever happens sooner.

The rule of thumb is the number of laps is the number of complete laps that exceeds 305 kilometres.
The Monaco Grand Prix is an exception with a race length of 78 laps / 260.5 km),


Driving a Grand Prix car is strenuous, with drivers easily losing a kilogram in sweat in a race. Limited to two hours for safety.
