The new weekend schedule w🐼ill come into effect at Silverstone this weekend on August 4-6, the next round of the championship.

New MotoGP format

Friday morning: 45-minute Free Practice 1
Friday afternoon: 60-minute Practice (session timed for entry ꦚi⭕nto Q2)

Saturday morning: 30-minute Free Practice 2
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 1
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 2
Saturday afternoon: Sprint race

Sunday: Warm-up
Sunday: Race

The key change is that the first session of the weekend, now a 𝕴45-minute Free Prac💎tice on Friday morning, will no longer be timed for entry into Qualifying 2.

This was approved by the Grand Prix Commission after a una🌳nimous agreement by every MotoGP team.

From now on, a sꦛecond session on Friday aft💝ernoon called Practice will be the only timed session for entry into Q2.

Riders and t🌟eams will then get a 30-minute Free Practice 2 session on Saturday morning,🎶 before the usual sprint race.

Sunday is unchanged.
