Max Verstappen is out on track, and he's flying with the fastest first sector.

Make hay while the sun shines with 25 minutes left in this session.

Amit Mandalia: Monza doesn’t seem particularly hard on tyres to me, even with this generation of Pirelli’s, is that actually the case? It’s usually a nailed on 1 stop

Romain Grosjean's lap time has been deleted for exceeding track limits at Parabolica.

Toro Rosso driver Pierre Gasly will be wearing a specially designed helmet for the Italian GP with a dedication to Anthoine Hubert, who died last weekend following a crash in the Formula 2 race at Spa-Francorchamps.

The dedication on the back of the helmet reads 'Forever with us Tonio', and Hubert's signature is on the side.

Chief F1 writer Andrew Benson and 5 live's pit-lane reporter Claire Cottingham spoke to Daniel Ricciardo this week as he explains what driving in the Belgian GP felt like, following Anthoine Hubert's death.

"I felt in no place to drive a racecar on the same track the next day."

Saturday has dawned a very different day on the plains of Lombardy.

After Thursday night’s storms, and Friday’s intermittent rain, today is warm and sunny, and Monza is resplendent, the royal park’s ancient trees casting dappled light all around, a late-summer haze not quite shielding the foothills of the Alps to the north.

Formula 1 - and perhaps the tifosi, too - arrived here expecting another Ferrari party, at least in qualifying, but Friday’s fractured running suggested they will not have it all their own way.

Troy: Another weekend another huge crash in the #F1 feeder series. I hope Alex Peroni is ok Surely this has to be the end of sausage kerbs in high speed corners? Especially after Vettel-Vestappen in Silverstone.

There is concern this morning following an update on the condition of Juan Manuel Correa, the other driver involved in the Formula 2 crash that killed Anthoine Hubert at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Correa was transferred to the UK during the week but on Saturday morning his parents announced that he had suffered an acute respiratory failure and been placed in an induced coma in intensive care.

Lewis Hamilton posted on Instagram about Hubert that it “feels like the world has just moved on already but you are still very much in our thoughts”.

But I’m not sure that is an accurate reflection of the atmosphere in the paddock.

There is still great anxiety and sympathy, as reflected inDaniel Ricciardo's revealingly honest interviewwith BBC Sport on Thursday, and the tense situation was exacerbated on Saturday morning by a huge accident in the Formula 3 race, when Australian Alex Peroni rolled at Parabolica and landed upside down on the barrier.

Amazingly, he walked away apparently unhurt - and this appears to have been another justification of the introduction of the‘halo’ head-protection device, as the accident had awful parallels with that which killed Brazilian Marco Campos in a Formula 3000 race in Magny-Cours in 1995.

Stoo G: If they can delay FP3 a bit longer to lay down some grass and gravel again, I won't complain... I know gravel fell out of favour, but sensitively applied it still has a part to play. Its problem was it was used everywhere - as tarmac run-offs and sausage kerbs are now

The track is ready and the pit lane is open.

Race organisers remove a ‘sausage’ kerb that appears to have been what launched Alex Peroni’s Formula 3 car into the air when he ran wide at Parabolica.

The kerb is there to enforce track limits on the outside of the corner, a problem ever since the gravel trap at Parabolica was replaced by asphalt two or three years ago.

But Peroni’s crash suggests it could cause more problems that it solved.

FP3 has been delayed due to track repairs after a huge crash in the Formula 3 race preceding this session.

Alex Peroni was launched into the air at Parabolica (Turn 11) after driving over the sausage kerb on the exit, and his car landed on top of the catch fencing.

The race was red flagged, he got out of the car, walked to the medical car and has been in the medical centre ever since.

Turn One (Rettifilo), Turn Nine (Ascari), and Turn 11 (Parabolica) caused some problems for drivers in yesterday's wet FP1 session. Kimi Raikkonen, and Sergio Perez ended up in the barriers causing the session to be red flagged while their cars were towed, and many of the other drivers spun or locked-up going off into the run-off areas.

FP2 was mostly dry, and Charles Leclerc was quickest in both sessions.

The BBC F1 commentary team of Jack Nicholls, Jolyon Palmer, and Claire Cottingham will be back from 10:55 BST at the top of the page, with final practice starting from 11:00 BST.

Juan Manuel Correa, the other driver involved in the Formula 2 accident last week in Belgium, has been transferred to a London hospital and placed in an induced coma.

The 20-year-old, is "critical but stable" after complications following the crash.

The Ecuador-American has a spinal injury and two broken legs, and was operated on in Liege for four hours after the crash, but on arrival in London was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

"This is an injury considered common in high-impact accidents such as this one. Unfortunately, this injury resulted in Juan Manuel falling into acute respiratory failure," said his parents.

"Juan Manuel is currently in an intensive care unit that specialises in respiratory injuries. At this point of time he is an in induced state of unconsciousness and under ECMO support."
