Formula 1: 2024 Austrian sprint qualifying, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
The Red Bull Ring is scheduled to host the third of six sprint races on the 2024 Formula 1 schedule this weekend ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, which is the 11th of a record-breaking 24 Grands Prix on the calendar.
Sprint racing was introduced in 2021. A sprint race is roughly one-third the length of a Grand Prix. Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix at the 10-turn, 2.683-mile (4.318-kilometer) road course in Spielberg, Styria, Austria is scheduled to be a 71-lap race, so Saturday's sprint race at the track is scheduled to be a 24-lap event.
Since last year, sprint races have been standalone races. Each sprint race has a standalone qualifying session separate from the Grand Prix qualifying session, and the results of a sprint race have no impact on the grid for the Grand Prix itself.
Since 2022, points have been paid to the top eight finishers, from eight points for the winner down to one point for the eighth place finisher.
