F1 Qatar GP start time
The penultimate race of the season is here: the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
This weekend will also feature the final sprint race of the season, giving us even more excitement on this lightning-fast circuit.
As a result, there will only be one practice session, followed by the sprint qualifying on Friday.
On Saturday, the sprint race will take place first, followed later in the day by the qualifying session for the grand prix. The rapid circuit, with many medium and high-speed corners, always delivers spectacular overtaking manoeuvres that you definitely don't want to miss!
The F1 GP of Qatar starts on Sunday, December 1st, at 16:00 GMT. About an hour and a half later, we'll know who will triumph at the Lusail International Circuit.
What time does the F1 sprint race in Qatar start?
Just like last year, there will again be a sprint race in Qatar. The sprint race for the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar starts on Saturday, November 30th, at 14:00 GMT.
