Imola is the first of the three venues to host a Sprint this year, leading to a radically different schedule.
Qualifying will take place late on Friday following just a single one-hour practice session. Drivers will get another hour of track running on Saturday morning before the 100km Sprint race in the afternoon.
The results from the Sprint will determine the starting order for the main race. However, as a change from last year, pole position will officially be awarded to the driver who set the quickest time in Friday qualifying, even if they do not start the grand prix from first position based on the results of the Sprint.
