    Imola could drop from F1 calendar; hard to keep two F1 races in Italy – Stefano Domenicali

    Imola Faces Uncertain Future in F1 Calendar

    Formula 1‘s chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, has indicated that the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola may face exclusion from the racing calendar, with the likelihood of maintaining two Grands Prix in Italy diminishing. Speaking on RAI radio, Domenicali underscored the challenges of accommodating numerous candidates for the existing 24-race schedule.

    Italy’s Importance in Formula 1

    “Italy has always been and will be an important part of Formula 1,” said Domenicali. However, amid growing global interest in the sport, he warned that “it will be increasingly difficult to have two races in the same country.” With a full calendar and rising demand, the future of both Imola and Monza may need careful consideration.

    Historical Context of the Imola Circuit

    Originally returning to the F1 calendar during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Imola’s position has since wavered, particularly following the cancellation of the 2023 race due to severe flooding in the region. Monza, on the other hand, has been a fixture since the inaugural championship in 1950, solidifying its reputation as a storied venue and securing its contract until 2031.

    Monza vs. Imola: A Tough Decision Ahead

    Domenicali, a native of Imola, acknowledged the personal difficulty of potentially prioritising Monza over his home circuit. “It’s hard for this situation with Imola and Monza to continue together on the calendar for long,” he admitted. The impending decision will be crucial in shaping Italy’s future role within F1.

    The Global F1 Landscape

    While Italy grapples with the potential loss of one of its Grand Prix races, other nations are embracing multiple events. The US currently hosts three races, and there are discussions of expanding to a second race in China. Meanwhile, Spain is preparing for a dual presence next season with Madrid joining Barcelona.

    Conclusion: The Road Ahead for Italian F1 Races

    As Formula 1 evolves and expands globally, Italy’s historic circuits may find themselves competing for limited slots. The sporting community will be watching closely how the discussions unfold over the coming months, with an emphasis on maintaining Italy’s revered place in the motorsport landscape despite the challenges ahead.
