F1 Sprint Today: Belgian Grand Prix 2023 start times, schedule and TV channel

After the drama of Friday's qualifying session for the feature race, we're going to do it all again on Saturday for the self-contained sprint day.

Drivers will take to the track early on for the sprint shootout, which will set the grid for the afternoon's sprint race – 15 laps around the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

The weather is expected to play a role once again, after Friday's practice and qualifying sessions were conducted in wet and drying conditions, leaving places up for grabs.

Max Verstappen was clearly ahead of the pack once again in qualifying, but Charles Leclerc was best of the rest in his Ferrari, followed by Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton.

Due to a 35-minute delay to the sprint shootout due to the wet conditions, times have changed for the time of the sprint.
