Canadian Grand Prix • Procedure
Published May 23, 2026 13:54
Summary
Top three drivers must complete FIA weighing and media obligations immediately after qualifying, followed by interviews and press conference.
Explanation
After qualifying, the top three drivers must return to the pit lane, where they will find designated 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place boards near the podium. They must remain fully attired until weighed by the FIA. Following the weigh-in, post-qualifying interviews occur in Parc Fermé with the interviewer selected by the Commercial Rights Holder. The top three are then escorted to the FIA Press Conference and subsequently to the TV pen. Drivers finishing 4th to 10th, as well as those eliminated in Q1 or Q2 but eligible to race, must also attend TV pen interviews after their weigh-in. Any driver stopping on track without medical attention must still report to the FIA scales. All drivers must proceed directly to the scales without external contact, and nothing may be consumed before weight is recorded.
