In MotoGP it is more usual, where in recent years even four races have been held on Spanish territory, but for Formula 1 more than two Grands Prix in the same country is a first. In Italy, where it is going to happen this season, people are therefore very proud.

"The decision of the FIA and the Formula 1 organizers to include a race on the circuit of Enzo and Dino Ferrari in the calendar for 2020, after races at Monza and Mugello were already planned, is a further confirmation of the quality of the work done by the Automobile Club d'Italia", says President of the club to Angelo Sticchi Damani on its own website.

Italy has the most approved circuits

He knocks himself on the chest, but he has some reason to do so. It is a complete reversal from four months ago that this is possible in Italy. Back then, this country was the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in Europe.

The fact that three Grands Prix are being held here now shows that the country has a lot to offer in the field of motorsport. Damani emphasizes that Italy is the only country with three circuits that have been approved to organize F1 races. In addition, the circuits of Vallelunga and Misano are also suitable for testing.
