Formula One has confirmed that there will be six Sprint weekends in the 2025 season, the same number as 2024.
In fact there has been only change. Spa in Belgium will replace the Red Bull Ring in Austria as the Sprint continues in Shanghai, Miami, Austin, São Paulo and Qatar.
Five drivers have won a Sprint to date, but it has been dominated by the man who openly does not like them: Max Verstappen.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: “The Sprint has been a great success for Formula 1, bringing all our fans more action and racing on the track. We are seeing the proof of this in our audience data, fan attendance on Fridays and from the promoters and partners.
“As we prepare to celebrate our 75th anniversary in 2025 we will always honour our incredible history, but we must always be looking ahead, innovating, and improving to deliver the best for our growing and diverse fanbase.
“The Sprint is a great example of bringing new elements to our sport in a way that is respectful of the Championship, and I want to thank the six venues that will host the Sprint in 2025 and look forward to those incredible events throughout the season.”
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said: “As the FIA Formula One World Championship celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2025, the Sprint will also enter its fifth year as part of the competition.
“Over that time, and through our strong collaboration with Formula 1 and with the input of all the teams, it has been through several different iterations and the regulations and format have evolved to give us the exciting and popular Sprints we have today.
“The six events for 2025 once again take in an interesting range of circuits and are sure to provide fans with plenty of additional action across the season.”
