In 2024, six Grands Prix in the Formula 1 World Championship will also have a sprint race. The Belgian Grand Prix is not included this time. Formula 1 announced on Tuesday that the sprint races at the Grands Prix of China (April 20), Miami (May 4), Austria (June 29), the United States (October 19), Sao Paulo (November 2) and Qatar (November 30) ) will take place.

Last season, Austria, the United States, Sao Paulo and Qatar also had a sprint race. China and Miami are new and replace Azerbaijan and Belgium. The sprint races were introduced in 2021 with races in Great Britain, Italy and Sao Paulo, followed by Emilia-Romagna, Austria and Sao Paulo a year later.
The format for the sprint races has not yet been determined. There is a good chance that qualifying for the sprint will move to Friday again. The teams also ask that the parc fermé times, during which no tinkering with the cars is allowed, be adjusted. A reverse starting order for the sprint is also on the table. Decisions on this can be expected in January.
