F1 has announced the six venues that will host sprint events during the 2024 season.
The 2024 F1 season will consist of 24 races, making it the longest season ever. There will also be six sprint events included in the schedule. The Chinese Grand Prix, returning after a four-year break due to COVID-19, will host the first sprint race in April. Miami will also hold a sprint race for the first time since joining the F1 calendar in 2022. Other sprint races will take place in Austria, the United States, Sao Paulo, and Qatar. The F1 Commission has agreed to consider changes to the sprint format, with discussions ongoing and a final proposal expected in January. Possible changes include reverting to the 2021 format with sprint qualifying on Friday and the sprint race on Saturday, or a more radical shift involving reversing part of the grid for the sprint race.
