Stefano DomenicaliExecutive Director of Formula 1, announced on Radio Gal Gr Parlamente recently that the Emilia-Romaña Grand Prix, which is held in The Imala circuit could be dismissed from 2026. This decision is due to the complexity of maintaining two races in the same country, since Italy also houses the Monza Grand Prix.
In this season the GP of Emilia-Romaña will be after Miami. On Sunday, May 18 of this year, it could be one of the last races on this track. Domenicali states: “From the human point of view, it will not be easy.”

The possible output of the Formula 1 calendar in 2026 is due to several factors. One of the main ones is the difficulty of maintaining two races in Italygiven the growing popularity and demand of F1 worldwide. Stefano Domenicali mentioned that the situation is complicated and that a definitive decision in the coming months must be made.
Imala is a historical circuit that has been an integral part of Formula 1. On this track there have been moments of glory and sadness as the death of Ayrton Senna, in the Tamburello curve. During the years of pandemic, he traveled in times of great difficulty. However, the need to balance the calendar and ensure the viability of the races could lead to their exclusion.
The Imola circuit, officially known as Autodromo Innerzionale Enzo and Dino Ferrari, has been the scene of memorable moments in the history of F1. His possible exit from the calendar would represent a significant loss for fans, who value his rich history and the exciting races he has housed. The final decision on Icola’s continuity in the Formula 1 calendar will be taken in the coming monthsconsidering all the factors involved.
