Last year’s race at Imola was its first Formula 1 round for 14 years. It previously held the Italian Grand Prix in 1980 and the San Marino Grand Prix from 1981 to 2006, typically in early May or late April. The track is situated around 90 kilometres north-west of the republic its F1 race was once named after.
The 3.08-mile circuit has been in continuous use and updated considerably since the last F1 race was held here. For instance, the old Variante Bassa is gone and the long straight heading into Tamburello is now broken up by two right-hand corners. More run-off areas have been added, especially at Variante Alta, and there are new pit garages, too. Only the old Marlboro tower remains from the previous start-finish complex.
Join us for the latest updates and results from the Imola Circuit, as the second practice session for the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF21, ready to continue evaluating the ideal set-up ahead of the qualifying session and the race on Sunday.
