The Qatar Grand Prix is next on the schedule, bringing a slightly different schedule than usual. The 2023 Qatar Grand Prix at Losail International Circuit will take place on Sunday, October 8, at 18:00 BST. It will be the 17th race in the 2023 Formula 1 season and the first at the venue since 2021.
Verstappen and Red Bull Racing returned to form in Japan. Carlos Sainz won the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix but couldn't get close to Verstappen in Suzuka. The result means that Verstappen is now extremely close to winning his third World Championship and can even do it on Saturday.
When will the drivers be in action?
The Qatar Grand Prix weekend will see the sprint format of Formula 1. Just one practice session will take place on Friday, with qualifying for the Grand Prix on Friday evening. The sprint format dominates the proceedings on Saturday, with the Sprint Shootout forming the grid for the sprint race. The main event takes place on Sunday at 18:00 BST.
