With the Las Vegas Grand Prix behind us, there are just two races left in the 2024 F1 season, and this weekend, all the action will take place at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix. The 306 km race consists of 57 laps around a circuit that’s 5.38 km long and features 16 turns. The race will take place on Sunday, December 1 at the Lusail International Circuit outside of Doha, Qatar. You can catch the full weekend of racing action starting with practices on Friday as well as the final F1 Sprint of the year on Saturday, which you can catch across several channels, including ESPN2 and ESPNU and streaming on ESPN+. (Earlier races through the weekend will be available on ESPN+, but note that the Grand Prix race itself will not.)
