Imola set to make a return to the 2021 F1 calender.

Similar to 2020, 2021 season has caused some uncertainty, with rumours that the Australia GP and the Chinese GP might be postponed or cancelled. Guess what those rumours are now confirmed!

With the Australian GP now set to take place in November, the Bahrain GP will now be the season opener. And due to the travel restrictions imposed in China, it will also have to be postponed or cancelled. With the future of the Chinee GP being uncertain the Imola GP is now set to return.

For many years now, we F1 fans and drivers alike have asked to bring gravel traps and old school circuits. The racing and thrill of seeing F1 cars go around the likes of Imola, Mugello, Portugal and Istanbul in 2020 have caused the hunger to grow. Luckily we have one of those iconic circuits back in the form of Imola.

Recently, the biggest tyre-related controversy occurred at the 2020 British GP, where the tyres of both the Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas and the tyres of Mclaren driver, Carlos Sainz, all exploded. While Lewis Hamilton managed to drag his 3 legged horse(car) to victory, both his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, and Mclaren driver, Carlos Sainz, both dropped way down the order and eventually out of the points.
