Formula 1's much-anticipated Sprint Shootout is making its debut this weekend on April 29-30 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix! This event will contribute to the excitement of the already thrilling races, and for racing enthusiasts all over the world, it's something that should not be missed. In this blog post, we'll discuss the Sprint Shootout and everything you need to know about how to watch it live.
What is the Sprint Shootout?
The Sprint Shootout, also known as the Sprint Qualifying, is a brand new format that has been introduced to Formula 1 racing weekend. It does not replace the typical qualifying system on Friday and Saturday. It is an extra race that will take place on Saturday after the second practice session. Drivers will line up on the grid to race at a distance of 100 kilometers (62 miles). This race will not determine the starting grid for Sunday's race, but rather the lineup for the main qualifying session on Friday.
The races are shorter with less distance, which gives the drivers a chance to showcase their skills in a more competitive and aggressive way. This also means that there will be more action-packed entertainment for the fans.
