Round 13 of the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship returns to the famous Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola, Emilia Romagna, Italy for the Formula 1 Emirates Gran Premio Dell’emilia Romagna (Emilia Romagna GP) 2020. The last time the historic circuit hosted a round of the Formula One World Championship was back in 2006. This will be the 28th time the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari has hosted Formula 1 as part of the World Championship (26 times as the San Marino Grand Prix, once as the Italian Grand Prix and the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix).
For many years, Italy held two Grands Prix every year, so the race held at Imola was named after its nearby state. It also hosted the 1980 Italian Grand Prix whilst the Autodromo Nazionale Monza underwent refurbishment. When the Formula 1 circus visits Imola, it is seen as the home Grand Prix for Scuderia Ferrari where the masses of “Tifosi” come out to support the “Prancing Horse”.
The current Grand Prix circuit layout is 4.909 kilometres (3.050 miles) in length and runs in an anti-clockwise direction. Race distance is 309.049 kilometres (192.034 miles) in length with 63 laps in total and 19 corners.
Follow us later in the afternoon for the latest updates and results from the Imola circuit, as the qualifying session for the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF1000.
