Formula 1 changes time in order not to overlap the funeral of Prince Philip. Qualifying on Saturday 17 April for the Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna GP has been brought forward to 2 pm. The funeral ceremony for the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 99 on April 9th, is scheduled for 4 pm in Italy.
The qualifications they are therefore scheduled for Saturday at 2 pm and no longer at 15. To comply with the regulation according to which no less than two hours must pass between FP3 and Qualifying, Free Practice 3 is at 11 am on Saturday and no longer at noon.
The times on Fridays also change. The rehearsals are all half an hour early.
