F1 Chinese GP qualifying – Start time, how to watch, TV channel
The new Sprint format for 2024 will have the qualifying session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a 60-minute pole shootout determining the Sunday grid. It’s challenging to predict the pecking order due to FP1 being on a dusty track and the Sprint shootout happening in wet conditions. Qualifying for the Chinese GP will start at 3pm local time on Saturday at the Shanghai International Circuit. Formula 1 is globally broadcast live, and viewers in selected countries can subscribe to F1 TV for qualifying streaming, while local broadcasters like Sky TV (UK) and Movistar (Spain) offer on-demand services. Motorsport.com will provide live commentary during qualifying on Friday and updates throughout the Shanghai weekend.
