2026 Monza Qualifying Groups Drawn

The groups for the FIA Formula 3 Qualifying session in Monza have been drawn

It was confirmed that Group A will include all of the even-numbered cars, while Group B will feature those with odd numbers.

Group A is scheduled to take to the track first for the opening 10 minutes of running, which is set to get underway at 14:00 local time on Friday, with Group B set to follow at 14:20.

Positions will then alternate between the two groups back and forth to fill out the remainder of the grid.
