What is the F1 sprint, as the 2023 Formula 1 season kicks off?

he Formula 1 season restarts with a total of 23 Grand Prix races, starting at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on Sunday March 5 and continuing for nine months.
Fans of the popular Netflix F1 show Drive to Survive are already familiar with the world’s best racers, including Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Formula 1 will continue its popular sprint weekends, including a total of six for this year, up from three in 2022. Grands prix in Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Qatar and the United States will feature their own sprint races.

What is the F1 sprint?
It’s a race, with any tire allowed on Saturday afternoon over 100km, which is 17 laps of Silverstone and around a third of a normal grand prix.
The first three drivers will be awarded points; three for the winner, two for second place and one for third. There is also no need to stop at the pit.
Qualifying will decide the starting grid for the sprint, with the final order of the sprint race then making up the grand prix positions.
