2024 Qatar Grand Prix Sprint Qualifying Begins

The 2024 Qatar Grand Prix weekend at Lusail International Circuit features its final sprint race of the season, with the sprint qualifying session kicking off on Friday, November 29, at 8:30 PM local time. Max Verstappen has already secured his fourth consecutive drivers' championship, but the constructors' championship remains competitive, particularly between McLaren and Ferrari. The sprint qualifying format includes three knockout stages, with a condensed schedule that replaces a traditional second practice session. Mercedes seeks to maintain their dominance after a strong performance in Las Vegas, where they achieved a 1-2 finish. The unique layout of the Lusail circuit, primarily designed for MotoGP, presents challenges with its fast corners and one significant overtaking spot at Turn 1. Fans can find various broadcast options to catch all the action throughout the weekend.
