Emilia Romagna GP Saturday Changes Confirmed

Formula 1 and the FIA are today setting out changes to the Saturday schedule for the Formula 1 Pirelli
Gran Premio Del Made in Italy e Dell’Emila Romagna 2021 out of respect to the funeral service of His Royal
Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh that will take place on Saturday 17th April 2021.

As a mark of respect for the Royal funeral, Qualifying will be moved to avoid a clash with the service. This
means Qualifying will take place between 14:00–15:00 CET. As a result FP3 will move to 11:00–12:00 CET
in order to comply with the regulations that state Qualifying must be 120 minutes after FP3. On Friday FP2
will move to 14:30-15:30 CET and FP1 will move to 11:00-12:00 CET due to the rules requiring those
sessions to be separated by at least two and a half hours and FP3 needing to start no less than nineteen
hours after the end of FP2.

There will be a minute of silence ahead of Qualifying as an opportunity for people to show their respects.
