Silverstone returns to hosting a sprint event for the first time since the format was introduced in 2021.
Sprint qualifying has three sessions, where now the six slowest cars are knocked out from the first two – like normal qualifying.
These sessions, known as SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3, last 12, 10 and eight minutes respectively.
This will make up the grid for the sprint race.
Only the top eight finishers score points, with eight points awarded for first place to one point for eighth, which will get added to the overall drivers’ championship standings.
Following Silverstone, the final two sprint races take place at the Dutch Grand Prix in August and the Singapore Grand Prix in October.
