In 2025 the Belgian Grand Prix will be held in sprint format

Formula 1 and the FIA ​​released a joint statement calling for six sprint events in the 2025 season.

Next season, race weekends with Saturday sprints will be held in China, Miami, Belgium, Austin, Brazil and Qatar. The most important change compared to 2024 is the discontinuation of the Spielberg sprint. Instead of the Austrian circuit, the sprint will be held in Spa in 2025.

Mohammed bin SulayemFIA President: “In 2025, Formula 1 will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the creation of the championship and will feature sprint stages for the fifth year. During this time, thanks to close collaboration with Formula 1 and the contribution of all the teams, we have changed the rules and format of the sprint several times, creating the exciting and popular sprints that take place today.

The six sprint rounds in 2025 will be held on interesting circuits and will certainly provide fans with a lot of extra entertainment.”

Stefano DomenicaliPresident and CEO of Formula 1: “The sprint has been a great success for Formula 1, bringing more racing and competition to the track for fans. We can see the evidence of this in the growth of our Friday audience.

As we prepare to celebrate our 75th anniversary in 2025, we will always honor this incredible history. However, it is imperative that we look forward, innovate and improve to provide the best for our growing and diverse fan base.

The sprint is an excellent example of introducing new elements to our sport, while respecting the traditions of the championship. I would like to thank the six circuits that will host the sprint in 2025 and look forward to these incredible stages.”
