Formula 1 returns on its way to the legendary Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari for this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
After returning to the F1 calendar for the first time since 2006, Imola is back in the 2021 edition.
The events of the San Marino Grand Prix 1994 will be remembered for a long time by many fans. The three-time weekend F1 champion Ayrton Senna was killed on race day.
The Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger also died in qualifying at Imola ’94.
Looking ahead to this weekend’s race, the battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton seems well prepared.
Hamilton prevailed at the season opener in Bahrain and resisted strong late pressure from the Dutchman to win the F1 season opener for the first time since 2015.
Red Bull appears to be ahead in terms of sheer performance, although only a fool would stop Mercedes from reclaiming its performance.

Before the weekend, Pirelli’s F1 boss Mario Isola said: “After an exciting start in Bahrain, we have exactly the same tire nomination for Imola: a track with very different characteristics that we like to visit as title sponsors. help demonstrate to the world the prestige of ‘Made in Italy’. Although the last race at Imola was almost six months ago, the conditions in April could possibly be different than in November and of course the tire construction has changed.
“As in the last race here, we expect the teams to follow a one-stop strategy, also because of the time lost in the pits and the relative difficulty of overtaking. The safety car made a big difference last year, so there are many question marks about returning to Europe this weekend. “
