The safety of these modern Formula 1 cars is so good.

When you saw that accident and the way it spun over, and yet Yuki Tsunoda has been able to step away.

Oscar Piastri was the first driver on the scene and saw Yuki Tsunoda in the gravel. Liam Lawson also caught the crash on the big screen while in the Racing Bull. Both drivers asked immediately how the Red Bull man was.

The estimated time for the session to resume is 15:20 BST.

Everybody now needs to go back out and they don't have the luxury to spread themselves out over a longer session.

It's now a really short session where everyone is desperate to get on circuit and find those gaps.

The Red Bull is a mess in the gravel at the Villeneuve chicane. Yuki Tsunoda was sent into a spin after losing the rear of the car on the kerb. When he hit the wall he was flipped up into the air and on to the tyre barrier, before coming back down in front of the fans.

Yuki Tsunoda's car did a complete 360, it landed upside down before the car then righted itself coming off the barriers.

There's a huge amount of damage to the car and the barriers - that will all need repairing as well.

Yuki Tsunoda clipped the kerb, bounced the car and my goodness that was a big accident.

That's a huge crash for Yuki Tsunoda. The replays show the Red Bull rolled upside down before hitting the barriers - a bit like Zhou Guanyu at Silverstone a few years ago. Thankfully, Tsunoda is safe and getting into the medical car.

It's Yuki Tsunoda who has crashed. The rear of the car is mangled as the Japanese driver climbs safely out.

The Williams of Alex Albon jumps above the two multiple world champions to go fastest overall.

But hang on, red flag! And it's a Red Bull...

The bright yellow race helmet of Lewis Hamilton is out on track to the delight of the watching Ferrari fans in Imola. Hamilton put it on pole here in 2021 for Mercedes but he's far from confident of a repeat performance, this time in red, in 2025.

The seven-time world champion is purple in the middle sector and clocks a 1:16.258 for his opening soft run, placing him behind the upgraded Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso.

The Ferrari flags are flying, but don't hold out much hope that those fans will be satisfied. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are struggling a little and are a bit lost at the moment. The pole battle is likely between the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. The Mercedes drivers, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, might throw in a curve ball.

There's going to be traffic jams, there's going to a little bit of chaos and it's going to be elbows out trying to find the gap because getting that gap is critical to getting a good lap around here.

"Forza Ferrari!" cry the Scuderia fans but what's in store for them today after a rocky start to the weekend?

Let's find out. Q1 is green and 18 minutes are on the clock.

Ben Edwards, Marc Priestley and Andrew Benson are ready to take us through this intriguing session - BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and at the top of this page using the 'listen live' tab to tune in. Or you can ask BBC Sounds via most smart speakers to play Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix qualifying.

Race wins and double podiums for McLaren have handed the team an 105-point advantage over second-placed Mercedes after six races. Red Bull and Ferrari have so far not been able to mount a strong enough challenge, so the two teams stay in third and fourth respectively.

The midfield, meanwhile, has been a tight affair but Williams are starting to create a bit of distance between themselves and Haas in sixth.

Will the title lead change hands this weekend? That might depend on who claims pole position this afternoon.

Oscar Piastri took control of the drivers' championship with his victory in Saudi Arabia last month and is now 16 points free of team-mate Lando Norris and 32 ahead of reigning world champ Max Verstappen.

I asked you at 11:52 if you thought Franco Colapinto will keep the seat at Alpine for the rest of the season and the majority of you clicked the up thumb to say yes, he will.

The man he replaced, Australian Jack Doohan, made it through to the second part of qualifying at the opener at his home grand prix in Melbourne and Miami last time out but he failed to score any points during his six-race stint.

With Colapinto handed five races to show what he's got, what is a realistic target for the 21-year-old Argentine? Is it just to avoid an early Q3 knockout, or does he need to advance to the pole shootout at a few of those qualifying weekends?

It's going to be mighty, mighty close [in qualifying], nailing everything and making the fewest mistakes is probably what is going to determine your grid position here.

Oscar Piastri was penalised last year for impeding and a traffic jam in Q1 with all cars jostling for position can definitely cause a shock elimination at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

If your race engineer doesn't spot the danger and let you know, or if you're dilly-dallying on the racing line when someone is on a hot lap, it could spell disaster for your qualifying hopes.

The James Hunt lolly ice picture from the 11:31 entry was no random photo. It's part of a stunning piece of storytelling from F1 live boss Alan Jewell to celebrate 75 years of Formula 1.

All the great names and circuits are in there, including a cracking black and white image of Juan Manuel Fangio steering his Maserati through La Source hairpin on his way to victory in the 1954 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.

You can read it in order or flick back and forth between the years.
