Experience even more on-track action during an F1® Sprint weekend!
Want to enjoy even more competitive racing during your weekend with F1® Experiences? Attend a Grand Prix™ during a Sprint weekend!
What is a Sprint, and how does a Sprint weekend differ from a normal race weekend?
A Sprint is a short race, typically about one-third the length (and time) of that weekend's Grand Prix™. The idea is to feature more on-track action during the course of the weekend, with competitive sessions happening each day. Two of the standard practice sessions are dropped in place of a Sprint Qualifying session and the Sprint itself. Points are awarded to the top eight Sprint finishers. The table below shows how the two race weekends compare.
