Formula 1: 2024 Qatar sprint qualifying updates, full starting lineup

The sixth and final sprint race of the 2024 Formula 1 season is scheduled to take place this Saturday at Lusail International Circuit ahead of Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix, the 23rd race on the record-breaking 24-race calendar.

With a sprint race being one-third the length of the Grand Prix, Saturday's race is scheduled to be a 19-lap race around the 16-turn, 3.343-mile (5.381-kilometer) road course in Lusail, Al Daayen, Qatar.

The track was added to the Formula 1 schedule in 2021 but did not host a race in 2022 due to fact that the FIFA World Cup was contested in the country when the race would have been held. When it came back in 2023, it hosted a sprint race for the first time, and that sprint race was won by McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

Piastri started that race from the pole position. With both Grands Prix at the track having been won from pole (Lewis Hamilton in 2021, Max Verstappen in 2023), no driver has ever won a Formula 1 race at Lusail from lower than P1 on the grid.
