THE British Grand Prix will stage a sprint race next year after Formula One bosses revealed the six-round schedule for 2026.

Shanghai, Miami, Montreal, Zandvoort and Singapore will also host the shortened-format race.

Silverstone staged F1's first ever sprint race in 2021 but has not been on the schedule since. Next year's British Grand Prix, one of 24 rounds on the calendar, will take place across the first weekend of July.
