For the third time this season, F1 will run its sprint race format and schedule, which puts qualifying on Friday afternoon to make room for the sprint race on Saturday afternoon in the usual qualifying slot.
The Interlagos circuit becomes the first venue to host two sprint weekends, having done the same in 2021, as F1 continues to assess the new format for its long-term implementation in the championship. Series organisers have already confirmed there will be six sprint races spread across the 2023 calendar, with the venues set to be announced at a later date.
