Lusail circuit is one of Formula 1’s newest venues, having only hosted three editions of the Qatar Grand Prix since 2021. Two years ago, the circuit underwent major renovation works with the construction of a new three level pits and hospitality building, as well as the construction of new grandstands. After brutally hot conditions for fans and teams alike in 2023, the race moved to a new, late-season calendar slot last year with much more comfortable temperatures. Attendances have been rising in Qatar, though the race still attracts some of the lowest spectator numbers on the current F1 calendar.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Qatar Grand Prix (February 15, 2026). Save 10% on all 3-day grandstand and general admission tickets until March 15, 2026.

Where to Watch the Action at the 2026 Qatar Grand Prix

The ticket offer has expanded in the last two seasons at Lusail Circuit, but is much simpler than at many other circuits. The viewing areas in Qatar are limited to the final corner (T16), main straight and opening corners (T1-T3) at the circuit. There’s no viewing areas at all from Turns 4-15. This makes choosing a grandstand or hospitality suite in Qatar fairly easy.

The Main Grandstand is the only grandstand in which seat numbers are allocated. There is “free seating” in the other grandstands, meaning seats are available on a first come, first served basis. Giant screens are located around the circuit, viewable from all grandstands and most general admission areas.Recommended places to watch in Qatar include the Main grandstand (the only covered grandstand at Lusail) for the race start, pits action and podium ceremony. For on-track action, we recommend the grandstands at Turn 2 and Turn 3 (as well as Lusail Hill) over the North and Turn 16 grandstands.

Main Grandstand

The Main Grandstand is located opposite the pit lane and will give you a great view of the starting grid, the pit lane and the podium celebrations. The grandstand is divided into three sections. The central Zone A is the prime position to see the grid lining up and the podium, while Zone B (to the left of Zone A) and Zone C (to the right of Zone A) also offer views of the main straight.

North Grandstand

The North Grandstand is also located on the pit straight, but is closer to Turn 1. If you are after a place to watch the start and pits action, but cannot afford the Main grandstand, North grandstand is worth considering. Otherwise, we don’t believe this is a good choice in Qatar. The on-track action is much better in the T2 and T3 grandstands, and they are considerably cheaper.

Lusail Hill Lounge

Located on the Main Straight, between the North Grandstand and Turn 1, the Lusail Hill lounge offers all-inclusive food and an open bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Lusail Lounge offers an open-air terrace design, with lots of vantage points to catch the action, as well as large TV screens.

Premiere Hospitality

Located on the outside of the circuit overlooking Turn 1, Premiere Hospitality is located in the same structure as the Champions Club by F1 Experiences, but offers more affordable hospitality with excellent track views, all inclusive hospitality and an open bar. The indoor section is airconditioned and offers comfortable table and sofa seating, whilst the large terrace has balcony and grandstand viewing options. The views of Turn 1 here are excellent.

Turn 2 Grandstand

Located on the outside of the circuit next to the tight and long Turn 2, this grandstand offers good views. The Turn 2 grandstand consists of two parts; the first is facing the short straight between Turns 1-2 (see gallery above), the second is facing the exit of Turn 2 and the infield (gallery below). The section facing the exit of Turn 2 and the infield is preferred, according to Robert (who sat there last year), as you can see the cars for much longer.

Turn 3 Grandstand

The Turn 3 Grandstand was newly introduced for the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix. It’s located between Turns 2 and 3, with prime views of the cars as they head through Turn 3. Expect to see plenty of jostling for position here,especially on the opening lap!

Turn 16 Grandstand & VIP Club 16 Hospitality

The Turn 16 Grandstand offers views of the cars entering the pitlane, taking the final corner and heading down the start/finish straight. Turn 16 Grandstand seats are also included as part of the circuit’s hospitality offering. In addition to reserved grandstand seats, you’ll also have access to an outdoor terrace looking out across the circuit. Hospitality tickets here also include a range of international catering options plus an open bar.  The on-track action at Turn 16 is less exciting than in the opening corners, however. Another negative of this location is that it is some distance from the main fan zone at the circuit. Better to choose a seating location in the opening corners rather than Turn 16.

General Admission

Single day and 3-day tickets are available in General Admission areas at the Qatar Grand Prix. These tickets grant you access to viewing areas from the final corner, all the way down the main straight (which includes the fan zone) and up to Turn 3 – marked in green on the map below. The best views in General Admission areas are on the outside of Turn 1, see image above. This is a comfortable, grassy hill with some elevation above the catch fencing, though it is set back some distance from the track itself. If you are on a limited budget, General Admission is worth considering.
