Formula 1 returns from a brief break for the first time to Qatar, having first held a race in the Middle East Country in 2021.
The Losail Circuit has underwent significant renovations since the last visit, aimed at improving the safety for both spectators and series that race at the track.
It will be the fourth Sprint race weekend of the season, in which Max Verstappen can claim his third Formula 1 title on the Saturday if he outscores Sergio Pérez.
