F1 Schedule in Imola: Emilia-Romagna GP
Following a sprint weekend, this weekend's race will follow the classic format, with three practice sessions, qualifying, and of course, the race itself. Last year in Imola, we witnessed a spectacular battle for victory between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. With a lead of just 0.725 seconds, the Dutchman narrowly came out on top. This year, however, all eyes are on McLaren for the win — or could another team spring a surprise?
On Friday, May 16, the first free practice session is scheduled for 12:30 BST, followed by the second free practice at 16:00 BST. Then, on Saturday, May 17, the third free practice will take place at 11:30 BST, with qualifying scheduled for 15:00 BST.
The 2025 F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola starts on Sunday, May 18, at 14:00 BST. About an hour and a half later, we’ll know who has won the seventh race of the season.
