During the Styrian Grand Prix it was already announced that Formula 1 will race twice this year in Italy. In addition to a race at Monza, a race at Mugello has also been confirmed. Corriere dello Sport now announces that there will even be a third Grand Prix in Italy.
Grand Prix dell'Reggio Emilia
The rumours have been going around for a while now, but Imola would also like to get a spot on the revised 2020 calendar. The Grand Prix would be called Grand Prix dell'Reggio Emilia and will be announced soon.
Besides Mugello the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi was also confirmed last week. This will take place two weeks after the Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello, so time to Imola will not take place directly behind Mugello on the calendar.
Racing in October
Chances are that the race at Imola will be held in October, after Sochi. AlphaTauri used the circuit earlier this season to test for the Austrian Grand Prix and Pierre Gasly was very impressed with the track. He already said he would like to see Imola added to the calendar.
Wednesday there will be more information about the circuit. The track is already in possession of an FIA grade 1 license, so there will be few problems during the inspection.
