This is the start time for the F1 sprint qualifying in Qatar today
This weekend marks the last sprint race of the F1 season, which means there will also be a sprint qualifying session on Friday.
Just like in the 'regular' qualifying, the starting grid for the sprint race on Saturday is determined in three sessions. Due to the sprint weekend format, there is only one free practice session, making it extra challenging for the teams to optimally set up the car. Which team will perform best in Qatar?
The sprint qualifying for the F1 Grand Prix in Qatar starts on Friday, November 29, at 17:30 GMT.
