2025 Emilia Romagna Grand PrixAll of the action from the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix is the seventh round of the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship. It is held at the Imola circuit and for us it’s the most home grand prix possible! Imola returned to F1 in 2020 after the Covid-19 pandemic led to a complete re-jig of the calendar.
For 26 years in a row, the Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit hosted the San Marino Grand Prix, a regular fixture on the championship calendar from 1981 to 2006. In 1980 Imola hosted the Italian Grand Prix. The circuit has been completely renovated to meet the F1 safety standards, which means it can once again host the circus.
The first ever Formula 1 San Marino Grand Prix was won by Nelson Piquet in 1981, with the final one in 2006 going to Michael Schumacher. The German has won it seven times, a record for the most wins here. Therefore, this year there will be two Grands Prix in Italy: apart from the round at Imola, there will be the usual race at Monza in September.
“It was a good weekend here in Imola and I’m happy with my performance. I had a difficult start to the race and lost two places; that definitely didn’t help us, and I know I’ll need to work on that to improve it. The pace was strong and I’m really satisfied with the job of tyre management we did throughout the race. There was a point in the race where we were P7 and I thought we were bringing it home, but unfortunately, it was just a shame for us when the safety car came out, so we’ll review everything with the team to understand if we could have done something differently. It feels good getting a couple of points; I’m proud of the team as they did a really good job. Looking at next week, I think that racing in Monaco as a rookie is going to be impressive and very hard, but I’m really excited and I can’t wait to drive an F1 car there for the first time.”

"Pretty disappointed for everybody, we just got caught by safety cars today. We had good potential and had pace all weekend but unfortunately we weren’t able to show it and that’s what put us down the back. It’s been a difficult weekend but I’ll keep working hard to turn it around. We are always learning with the car, every weekend I’m getting more used to it, we are heading in the right direction. Monaco is an iconic track and it is my first time, I’m excited to get there; it is very special and will be one to get up to speed with quite quickly. I’m looking forward to going there and getting right back into it."
