The global pandemic situation has caused F1 to make many changes to the season’s calendar. After the weekend at Portimao, F1 will be back on Italian grounds for the third time this year. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix which was earlier recognized as San Marino Grand Prix will take place after 13 long years.
The circuit went through distinctive modifications after the 1994 event where Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger lost their lives one after the other in the span of 24 hours. The authorities redesigned the circuit to avoid any such accidents from happening again. After the last race of 2006, the track underwent a few more revisions to host other genres of motorsport.
It was in mid-June after the pandemic situation had sunk the season’s lineup that the news of the two-day weekend at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was ultimately aired.
