In response, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali issued a statement that read: "Formula 1 mourns the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"For more than seven decades she dedicated her life to public service with dignity and devotion and inspired so many around the world.
"Formula 1 sends its deepest condolences to the Royal Family and to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth."
It is understood F1, the teams and drivers will hold a minute's silence before the first practice session for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Friday.
The teams also expressed their grief via social media.
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.”
