Round 23 of the Formula 1 season, the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix weekend will take place between 29 November–1 December.
Officially the FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS QATAR GRAND PRIX 2024, the 57-lap Grand Prix starts at 19:00 local time (UTC+3) on Sunday, 1 December, at the Lusail International Circuit on the outskirts of Doha, Qatar.
F1 first arrived at the fast and flowing track for a championship race in 2021, and this year will see the circuit host its second F1 Sprint, the final Sprint of 2024, so there’ll be even more track action!
The timetable below covers the full weekend track schedule, including details of all practice and qualifying sessions, support races, and other special events – plus, of course, the F1 Sprint timings and that crucial Qatar Grand Prix start time.
NOTE: All times listed are local. Qatar is UTC+3. Timetable subject to change.
