For the first 🌱time since 2006🎃, Imola plays host to a Formula 1 grand prix - dubbed the Emila Romagna Grand Prix.

Usually hosting the San Marino Grand Prix, Imola is a circuit steeped in F1 f⛎olklore. 

It is w🐻here three-time F1 champion Ayrton Senna and Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger tragically lost their l🙈ives during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

This weekend's Emila Romagna✱ GP will be run across two days - a 90-minute practice on Saturday morning fo🍸llowed up by qualifying in the afternoon. 

Lewis Hamilton broke Michael Schumacher's win record last time out and will be looking for win number 93 🅷as he looks to secure the drivers' championship next time out in Turkey.

Mercedes is likel꧃y to secure a record seventh constructors' championship in a row, should Red Bull fail to score it by 33 points - something which hasn't happened since the 2𒊎016 Spanish Grand Prix where Hamilton and Nico Rosberg famously collided on the opening lap.

What to expect from this weekend?

The unique two-day weekend format meanౠs drivers will only have 90 minutes to acclimatise to the Imola circuit.

Only Kimi Raikkonen has raced 𝔉in F1 at Imola, while the likes of Lance Stroll and Charles𝔍 Leclerc have experience driving it in their junior careers.

Nat🦋urally, given its tight, technical nature, qualifying will be as crucialꦿ as ever.

No rain is expected at any point this weekend.

Pirelli has nominated the C2, C3 and C4 tyres for this weekend's♏ race.

Mario Isola, head of F1 at Pirelli said: “The tests we carried out last weekend in Portimao to assess 2021 tyre specifications went well, as expected. We are now analysing all the data collected because by Nove꧋mber 1st we have to nominate the definitive&𝓡nbsp;specification for next year. This weekend at Imola, there’s going to be a lot to get used to in a short space of time. 

“After travelling back from Portugal the teams have to cope with a new race weekend format and reduced practice time on what will be a brand new track for most of the drivers – although inadvertently, they ꧟practised this exact scenario at the Nurburgring recently. As you would expect on a꧂ circuit with so much history, Imola has an old-school feel to it like Mugello, and we believe that the drivers are going to love racing there.

“Finding the right set-up as quickly as po🅰ssible is going to be key to success, as the technical nature of the track means that a number of important compromises have to be made, so it’s always tricky to find the right balance. Overtaking could be quite tricky and the weather at this time of year is unpredictable, so the strategy is set to play an important role – but that strategy has to be flexible enough to adapt i💃tself to changing circumstances.”
