Formula 1 is set to return to action this weekend at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps following a three-week break, and there are two races set to be contested.
For the first time since the Miami Grand Prix weekend in early May, Formula 1 is set to run a sprint race on Saturday before the actual Grand Prix. Saturday's sprint race is the third of six on this year's calendar, which features a record-tying 24 Grand Prix weekends.
With sprint races being roughly one-third the distance of the main event and Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix scheduled to be a 44-lap race around the 19-turn, 4.352-mile (7.004-kilometer) road course in Stavelot, Belgium, Saturday's sprint race is scheduled to be a 15-lap race.
Qualifying for the sprint race and the sprint race itself effectively replace what would usually be the second and third practice sessions of the weekend.
Sprint qualifying is largely similar to regular Grand Prix qualifying, with five drivers knocked out in the first round before five more are knocked out in the second, leading to the 10-driver shootout for pole.
Spa also hosted a sprint race in 2023. That race was won from pole by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, though it was shortened to 11 laps due to an aborted start procedure.
