Grid for Sprint Session

In Simple Terms

The Sprint grid is determined by how drivers performed in Sprint Qualifying, with any penalties applied to their starting positions. The official grid order is published twice—a provisional version 2 hours before the Sprint starts, and a final version 1 hour before—giving teams time to prepare. If a driver can't compete, they must tell the stewards at least 1 hour 15 minutes before the Sprint begins.

• Sprint grid is based on Sprint Qualifying results with grid penalties factored in
• Provisional grid published 2 hours before Sprint start; final grid published 1 hour before
• Drivers must notify stewards by 1 hour 25 minutes before the Sprint if they cannot start
