Attention sharply turns to the Qatar Grand Prix after the Las Vegas drama. Find out the start times for this upcoming weekend in Losail here!

The Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the 23rd round of 2025 at the Losail International Circuit.

The final Sprint weekend of the season will also be contested in Qatar, so a total of 33 points will be up for grabs for the drivers.

This means that after the one and only free practice session, drivers will immediately face off in Sprint Qualifying on Friday.

On Saturday, the Sprint will be contested first before attention turns to Qualifying later on. The weekend concludes with the Qatar Grand Prix on Sunday.
