Further information: Formula One tyres

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2, and C3 tyre compounds (the three hardest in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.

Practice

Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on 23 August 2024, at 12:30 local time (UTC+2), and was topped by Lando Norris of McLaren ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. The session was held in rainy conditions, facilitating the use of full wet tyres, and on a wet track, which gradually became dry. The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 16:00 local time, and was topped by George Russell of Mercedes ahead of Oscar Piastri of McLaren, and Russell's teammate Hamilton.

The third practice session was held on 24 August 2024, at 11:30 local time, and was topped by Pierre Gasly of Alpine ahead of Kevin Magnussen of Haas and Valtteri Bottas of Sauber. Much like the first session, it was held in rainy conditions. The session was red-flagged after Logan Sargeant of Williams was involved in a heavy crash, causing substantial damage to his car. It bottomed out on a patch of grass at the exit of turn three, sending him into a spin that made him strike the barriers at high speed, rear-end first, causing it to burst into flames. Due to this, Sargeant was unable to set a time during the subsequent qualification session, as his car was being repaired. The session was restarted at the one-minute mark, allowing drivers one lap and a practice start.

Qualifying

Qualifying was held on 24 August 2024, at 15:00 local time (UTC+2).
