Formula 1 welcomes its third Sprint race of 2023 ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix at the Circuit Spa-Francorchamps.
A change to the running order this year sees the Sprint now standing alone – rather than deciding the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix – and the starting order will be set in the Sprint Shootout earlier on Saturday.
That session is scheduled to start at 12:00 local time (11:00 BST) on Saturday.
This will be followed by the 15-lap Sprint, which begins at 16:30 local time (15:30 BST), while Sunday's Grand Prix is set to start at 15:00 local time (14:00 BST) and run for 44 laps.
