The practice session times over the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend have been altered, so that track action will not clash with the funeral of HRH The Prince Philip.
The Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died last week at the age of 99. His ceremonial royal funeral will be held at Windsor Castle on Saturday 17 April, qualifying day at Imola.
In order to ensure there is no overlap, Friday practice sessions have also been brought forward.
This is to ensure that Article 32.1(b) of the Sporting Regulations is adhered to, which states that third practice must start no less than 19 hours after the conclusion of second practice.
The revised times for each session are as follows:
Revised Timetable - 2021 Emilia Romagna GP
| Session | New time |
|---|---|
| FP1 (First Practice) | 11:00AM CET |
| FP2 (Second Practice) | 2:30PM CET |
| FP3 (Third Practice) | 11:00AM CET |
| Qualifying | 14:00PM CET |
