F1 Imola schedule & start times
The second triple-header of the Formula 1 season kicks off at the iconic Imola circuit. Max Verstappen has won the last three races on this technical track, but with McLaren’s impressive form, that dominance is far from guaranteed this year. Who will come out on top in Imola?
On Friday, there are two free practice sessions, followed by the final one on Saturday, with qualifying at 15:00 BST.
The 2025 F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola starts on Sunday, May 18, at 14:00 BST. About an hour and a half later, we should know who has won the seventh race of the season.
