Qualifying for this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been moved to avoid overlapping with the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral on Saturday.
Formula One and the FIA have announced that the session has been brought forward by an hour and will now take place from 1300-1400BST. As a result, final practice will move to 1000-1100 in order to comply with the regulations which state qualifying must be two hours after FP3.
A minute's silence will also be held before qualifying at Imola.
