Grands Prix are frequently named after the country, region or city in which they are raced, and in some seasons, nations have hosted more than one event. A Saturday sprint is held at select events, with the starting grid determined by a separate, shorter qualifying session. Each Grand Prix meeting lasts three days with either one or three practice sessions before a three-part qualifying session on either Friday or Saturday to set the starting order for Sunday's race. The Formula One World Championship season consists of a series of races around the world, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The "formula" in the name alludes to a series of FIA rules to which all participants and vehicles are required to conform. Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing series managed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.
