Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc were asked about which track from the 2020 Formula 1 season they would like to race again in 2021, from the ones which were not initially on the calendar. Whereas Sebastian Vettel prefers the return of Imola on the programme, Charles Leclerc votes to keep Portimao around for a few years.
“I’ve never been to Imola before”, Seb explains, as quoted by Motorsport-Total.com. “It was an impressive track. It would be great to go back there because you can really feel the speed of the cars. It reminded me in a way of Japan . It would be nice to go back to Imola.” – he explained.
Charles has a different view
However, Charles disagrees with the choice of his former Scuderia Ferrari teammate. He would rather see the return of Mugello or Portimao, both for different reasons. “In qualifying, I would choose Mugello. In the race it would be close between Imola and Portimao. I had a lot of fun in Portimao”, the Monegasque driver admits – “Of course the conditions were a little different than normal, but I really enjoyed Portimao.” In both Mugello and Portimao, Charles crossed the finish line in fourth place, a relatively good result in the midst of his mediocre season in the underperforming Ferrari car.
