F1 Qualifying Today: Qatar Grand Prix 2023 start times, schedule and TV
The sprint weekend format is back at the Qatar Grand Prix, with Friday's action seeing just one single practice session ahead of qualifying for Sunday's race.
The teams and drivers will have to be on the money from the get-go in Qatar as they will only have 60 minutes on track during FP1 ahead of an earlier qualifying than normal.
This is due to Saturday playing host to both the sprint shootout and sprint race itself, neither of which have any standing on Sunday's main event.
