Important: Valtteri Bottas has been notified 🛑

Despite setting the fastest time in Q3 of Friday's qualifying, Valtteri Bottas was penalized because prior to the session, the Mercedes driver fitted a new turbo, MGU-H and MGU-K engine.

This penalty will apply only for Sunday's race, so on race day, Bottas will start from the last position on the grid.

For today's sprint qualifying, Bottas will continue to start from pole position.

Classification changes, sprint race debuts at Monza

For 2021, the FIA implemented a new qualifying system in Formula 1. This change stipulates that Free Practice 1 will be run on Friday, as well as qualifying based on Q1, Q2 and Q3. This qualifying will define Saturday's starting grid. On that day, free practice 2 and a short qualifying, based on a sprint race of no more than 100 kilometers, will determine the final starting grid positions for Sunday's big race.


The sprint race will award three points in the drivers' world championship standings to the driver who manages to win it, two to the second and one point to the third.
