How do F1 sprint races work? Format, qualifying and more - ESPN
A Formula 1 weekend has become a must-see, three-day social event wrapped around a grand prix. For 24 weekends out of the year, F1 takes over a city and brings with it its open-wheel, single-seat race cars and a full-blown party atmosphere. While the bulk of the F1 season consists of traditional grand prix weekends, six of those weekends are reserved for standalone sprint races. The next sprint race in the 2025 F1 calendar is the Miami Grand Prix.
