Esteban Ocon of the Alpine F1 Team participated in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy on April 24, 2022. The Mayor of Imola, Marco Panieri, has expressed his dedication to maintaining two Formula 1 races in Italy alongside the iconic Monza circuit. Imola returned to the F1 calendar in 2020 and has remained a fixture, apart from a brief pause last season due to flooding. Italy is currently the only European country to host two F1 Grand Prix events, with Imola’s contract set to run until the end of 2025. Panieri is actively working to secure an extension to ensure Imola’s continued presence in the future. The venue is undergoing upgrades to its facilities to meet the standards set by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicalli, who emphasized the importance of classic circuits keeping up with modern demands. Imola’s preparations include investments in infrastructure, track enhancements, hospitality, and the versatility of the available spaces. The Mayor expressed gratitude to the various partners and institutions involved in supporting Imola’s role in promoting Italian excellence and attracting global attention. Angelo Sticchi, the President of the Automobile Club d’Italia, also lauded the inclusion of two Italian circuits on the 2025 F1 calendar and acknowledged the efforts made by Italian institutions to enhance the quality of their venues. ACI takes pride in organizing two world-class Grand Prix events and views this recognition as a testament to their ongoing commitment to providing fans with a first-rate Formula 1 experience in modern and comfortable facilities.
