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 🧸𓄧2024 campaign comprising of 24 grands prix and once again featuring six sprint events.
The Ch🔯inese Grand 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 wil❀l be quickly followed by a second event at Miami, which will stage a sprint race for the first time since joining the F1 calendar in 2022.
Further sprint ev꧃ents 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 Commไission agreed to support tweaks🌳 moving format.
No changes have been agreed as yet and further discussions are planned, with a final proposal expected to be submitted to t🌊he F1 Commission by mid-to-late January.
F1 is likely to revert to having sprint qualifying on Friday followed by the sprint race on Sat𒆙urday - as was the case in 2021 - but with regular qualifying for Sunday’s grand prix taꦏking place on Saturday afternoon.
It is understood that two route🧔s 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 race.
