This year's Emilia-Romagna GP was probably Imola's last F1 race, but the circuit was already pushing its luck in an age of safer and fairer racing — that lacks the rawness of the past, says Mark Hughes
The pandemic gave Imola a reprieve and it was lovely to go back to the picturesque park from 2021 until last weekend, back to a place which had last hosted a grand prix in 2006. But for now, that's it. No more grands prix there as more lucrative races are filling the calendar.
Current cars make for a dramatic sight on a circuit which is in reality a little too narrow and with too many hazards for the speeds being reached. The cars are immensely safe now, but using up that margin by racing on a track of previous era safety standards made it feel like F1 was beginning to push its luck a little.
