Official Meetings - Sprint Competition Schedule

In Simple Terms

When a sprint race is scheduled, F1 holds three official meetings at specific times during the weekend. The first meeting happens 3 hours before practice starts and only team managers attend. The second and third meetings occur after practice and sprint qualifying respectively, with both drivers and team managers required to attend.

• Three official meetings are scheduled on sprint weekends at set times
• Only team managers attend the first meeting (3 hours before FP1)
• Drivers and team managers must both attend the second meeting (1 hour after FP1) and third meeting (1.5 hours after sprint qualifying)
• These meetings coordinate important information and decisions for the sprint competition format
