F1 has announced the 6 sprint races of 2024
For the second time in a row, Formula 1 is hosting six three-day sprint races this year. They will be held for the first time in China and Miami in 2024, followed by the GPs of Austria, USA (Texas), Brazil and Qatar.
Unlike Shanghai – which returns to the program after a four-year absence due to the coronavirus – and Miami, Brazil will remain the only country to hold a continuous sprint race from 2021, when this concept of small races was experimentally implemented over the weekend of 100 kilometers, that is 1/3 of a normal GP. China and Miami won the sprints, which Baku and Spa had this year.
Austria will host the sprint race for the third year in a row next year, with Austin and Qatar hosting it for the second time. The selection of these tracks was based on the number of overtaking points and opportunities that allow drivers to duel and add extra spectacle. The program in detail.
F1 2024 – SPRINT RACE
- 19-21 April – China (Shanghai)
- 3rd-5th May – USA (Miami)
- 28-30 June – Austria (Spielberg)
- 18th-20th October – USA (Texas)
- 1st-3rd November – Brazil (Interlago)
- November 29th – December 1st – catarrh (Losail)
However, beyond the definition of the 2024 sprint racing program, the question of the new structure, which will include the specific six days of racing over three days in the new year, remains open and will be agreed between Liberty Media and the teams.
Teams will receive proposals from Liberty in January 2024 to revise the three-day sprint races, as in 2023 the sprint shootout (qualifying tests) and the sprint race itself, which took place on Saturday morning and afternoon respectively, did not bring the expected interest.
One of the proposals is to hold the sprint shootout (for the sprint starting series) on Friday afternoon and hold qualifying tests for the main Sunday GP and the sprint race on these six Saturdays in the afternoon.
Another possibility is that these two Saturday activities take place in reverse: the sprint race in the morning and the GP qualifying tests in the afternoon. But this idea might not go down well with the teams who don’t want to risk qualifying by damaging their cars in the sprint.
However, the most extreme idea currently being discussed is to reverse the starting order in the sprint race – either all 20 riders or just the top 10 – relative to the sprint shootout standings. However, in this case an incentive would have to be found so that the drivers do not deliberately drive slowly in order to “win” the pole position for the sprint.

There are growing rumors in the paddock that Red Bull is preparing to make a radical change to the livery of its car for the first time since 2015.
Ten years ago the Austrians created a design that they use today almost unchanged, with minor adjustments to the layout of elements and changes to the composition of sponsors.
According to multiple sources, the team decided to finally update its look, going back closer in spirit to the first look, inspired by the design of Red Bull energy drink cans. The team itself is already talking about this design on social networks and periodically directs its fans to it.
Let’s remember that the team was supposed to present its new uniform on January 15 at an event in the USA where Ford will also show off the design of the youth team. Due to the difference in time zones, the live broadcast of the event will start at 05:00 Kyiv time.
If Red Bull finally brings back chrome for the 2026 livery 👀

Red Bull Ford seems to have decided to slow down with one of the most radical technical solutions on the eve of the start of the new regulations. The concept in question is an engine concept with an extreme 1:18 compression ratio, which is seen as a potential loophole in the regulations.
According to information received from the paddock, this configuration is not planned to be used in tests in Barcelona. The reason is quite ordinary; The risk level is very high. Although engineers expected a noticeable increase in power, at the same time serious doubts were raised about the stability of the engine in racing conditions.
The team fears that relying on aggressive architecture could lead to a wave of power unit failures early in the season. Therefore, the version that Red Bull Ford is ready to move away from this idea altogether, preferring a more balanced and predictable solution, is now increasingly heard.

In Formula 1, the 2026 season will start a new technical era in the championship. The teams are preparing for radically changing regulations that will deliver a different car concept, updated aerodynamics and new generation power plants. This is the beginning of such rules, which often becomes a decisive moment not only for sporting results, but also for strategic decisions within teams.
2026 could be a decisive year for Ferrari. After several seasons in which the team regularly lost momentum due to mechanical limitations, Maranello decided to change its approach to the basic concept of the car.
Against this background, Charles Leclerc’s words are becoming increasingly important, according to the Italian publication autoracer.it. The Monegasque openly admitted that the start of the 2026 season will be decisive for his future at Ferrari. According to him, if the team cannot compete at a high level once again, this could put an end to its history of cooperation with Maranello.
Separately, the futures of Lewis Hamilton and team leader Frederic Vasseur are also in danger. For the seven-time world champion, 2026 could be a chance to highlight a new generation of cars that will better suit his driving style.
