Doc 19 - Post-Qualifying Procedure

This document outlines the post-qualifying procedures for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, specifically focusing on the top three drivers and other participants.

Post-Qualifying Procedure for Top Three Drivers:

• Return to Pit Lane: The fastest three (3) drivers in Q3 must return to the Pit Lane where the 1,2,3 boards are located.
• Restricted Area: Only team mechanics (with cooling fans if necessary), officials, and FIA pre-approved television crews and photographers are allowed in the designated area. Driver physios and team PR personnel are not permitted.
• Weighing: The top three (3) drivers will be weighed by the FIA immediately after exiting their cars. Drivers must remain fully attired (helmet, gloves, etc.) until after weighing.
• Interviews: Post-qualifying interviews will take place in parc ferme, with the interviewer selected by the Commercial Rights Holder.
• Arrival at Designated Area: If any of the top three drivers are in the Pit Lane at the end of the session, their team must ensure they proceed directly to the designated area once other drivers have arrived.
• Photo Opportunities: After live interviews, drivers will be led to the backdrop for Top 3 and Pirelli Award photo opportunities.
• Press Conference: The top three (3) drivers will then be escorted by the FIA Media Delegate to the FIA Press Conference.
• TV Pen: Following the FIA Press Conference, the top three (3) drivers will be taken to the TV pen.

Post-Qualifying Procedure for Other Drivers:

• TV Pen Interviews: Drivers eliminated in Q1 and Q2, drivers classified from 4th to 10th in Q3, and drivers who did not participate in Q1 but are eligible to race, must attend the TV pen interview immediately after being weighed by the FIA at the end of the last part of qualifying in which they participated.
• Written Media Zone: Any driver from 4th position onwards who does not have a scheduled written media session after qualifying must be available for interviews at the written media zone adjacent to the TV pen once their TV interviews are concluded.

Weighing Procedures for Drivers Outside Top Three:

• Q1 and Q2 Eliminated Drivers: Any drivers who finished participating in qualifying sessions after Q1 and Q2 must proceed to the FIA scales through the pit lane immediately after returning to their team's garage. They may not consume anything or do anything that increases their weight before it is recorded.
• Drivers Stopping on Track: Any driver who stops on the track during qualifying sessions and is not required to visit the Medical Centre, must proceed to the FIA scales to get their weight recorded before returning to their team.
• Top 10 Finishers: Drivers who finish within the top 10 must proceed to the FIA scales immediately when out of their cars without contact with any other person.
