There are only two practice sessions this weekend, one fewer than normal, each running to one hour in length as is now the case in F1 from this year.
What does the Sprint race entail? The first will take place on Friday ahead of qualifying, with the second slotting in before the sprint on Saturday.
It is designed to provide a short and fast-paced racing spectacle — similar to a Twenty20 cricket match — with drivers racing flat-out from start to finish without the need to pit.
