editQualifying
editQualifying was held on 7 March 2024, at 18:00 local time (UTC+3).
- Notes
- ^1 - Oliver Bearman withdrew from this round after the qualifying due to replacing Carlos Sainz Jr. (appendicitis) in the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, after the official grid had been set. As a consequence, all cars from P11 and below moved up one position in the starting grid for the sprint race.[3][4]
- ^2 - Juan Manuel Correa received a 3-place grid penalty for the Sprint Race for impending Taylor Barnard in the qualifying.[5]
- ^3 - Amaury Cordeel received a 5-place grid penalty for the Sprint Race for causing a collision with Oliver Bearman in the Sakhir Feature Race.[6]

Sprint race
editThe sprint race was held on 8 March 2024, and was scheduled at 18:10 local time (UTC+3), but was delayed by ten minutes.
Notes:
- ^1 – Isack Hadjar and Zak O'Sullivan both retired from the race, but were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance.
- ^2 – Both Trident drivers Richard Verschoor and Roman Staněk were disqualified after the sprint race due to a technical infringement, as it was found that both drivers have had an incorrect throttle pedal progressivity map installed prior to the race which was not in compliance with Article 8.2.6 of the Technical Regulations. As a result, Dennis Hauger inherited the win from Verschoor.[10]
- ^3 – Oliver Bearman was scheduled to start tenth after the grid reversal, but withdrew after Ferrari Formula One driver Carlos Sainz, Jr. withdrew because of appendicitis, and was promoted to the team for the F1 race.
