Qatar seeks to continue its success stories in the world of motorsports with the hosting of the Qatar Airways Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 23rd and penultimate round of the Formula 1 World Championship for the 2024 season. The Qatar Grand Prix begins on Friday and it will continue for three days under the floodlights of the Lusail International Circuit. Twenty of the world’s best racing drivers will participate in 10 Formula 1 teams competing to win the title at the main race on Sunday evening.
For the second year in a row and third time in history, Doha will host the Formula 1 World Championship. Qatar hosted it for the first time in 2021 and assumed responsibility over a vacancy left by Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Qatar Grand Prix will be in the Formula 1 calendar for ten consecutive years, starting from 2023, as part of the partnership between Doha and Formula 1, which made Qatar an important annual destination for the world’s largest motor racing event.
