The Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix has sadly been cancelled this weekend owing to heavy rain and flooding in the region.
First used for sports car racing in June 1954, its first Formula 1 world championship race took place in 1980, won by the Brabham of Nelson Piquet. Non-championship races had previously taken place at Imola in 1963 and 1979, won by Jim Clark and Niki Lauda respectively.
Imola is also remembered for being the location of the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger. Changes were made to the circuit, but it remains a fast, challenging and breathless test for grand prix drivers.
