LIVE: 2023 F1 Qatar Grand Prix - Sprint Shootout

The 17th round of the Formula 1 season takes place in Qatar, with the Lusail International Circuit hosting the event.

Qatar returns to the calendar after making its debut in 2021 before skipping a spot on last year's schedule.

Max Verstappen enters the race weekend with a strong chance of winning the Drivers' Championship - a feat he can achieve during today's Sprint.

However before the shorter race takes place, the grid must be set. Drivers will be thrown into a session of hot laps as they tackle the Lusail track once more.
