Formula 1: 2024 Brazil sprint qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
Interlagos Circuit, officially known as Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, has become a regular on the Formula 1 sprint race schedule.
This track is the only track on the schedule which hosted a sprint race in each of the first three seasons following the introduction of the format, and it is scheduled to host the fifth of six sprint races on the schedule once again in 2024.
With a sprint race being one-third the length of a Grand Prix and Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix (more commonly known as the Brazilian Grand Prix) around the 15-turn, 2.677-mile (4.308-kilometer) road course in Sao Paulo, Brazil scheduled to be a 71-lap event, Saturday's sprint race is scheduled to last for 24 laps.
Interestingly, the sprint race has never been won the polesitter. Max Verstappen started on pole before Valtteri Bottas won in 2021, Kevin Magnussen started on pole before George Russell won in 2022, and Lando Norris started on pole before Verstappen won in 2023.
