F1’s six sprint races for 2024 revealed - including two new venues - with format changes to follow
F1 is set to embark on its longest💖-♓ever season with the 2024 campaign comprising of 24 grands prix and once again featuring six sprint events.
The Chinese G🧸rand Prix, which is set to return as the fifth round of the world championship in April following a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will host the first sprint race of 2024.
That will be quickly f💟ollowed by a second event at Miami, which wil🐼l stage a sprint race for the first time since joining the F1 calendar in 2022.
Further sprint e൲vents will take place at the Austrian, United States, Sao Paulo and Qatar Grands Prix.
The F1 sprint format is set to change for 2024 after the F1 C🌌ommission agreed to support tweaks moving format.
No changes have been agreed as yet and further discussions are planned, wiꦑth a final proposal expected to be submitted to the F1 Commission by mid-to-late January.
F1 is likไely to revert to having sprint qualifying on Friday followed by the sprint rac꧟e on Saturday - as was the case in 2021 - but with regular qualifying for Sunday’s grand prix taking place on Saturday afternoon.
It is understood that two routes are being considered moving forward; keeping the format as it but addressing the parc ferme situation, or a more radical move to reverse part of the grid for the sprint r🅘ace.
