Although I understand...I find it kind of sad that tamburellos gone.... RIP Ayrton, we’ll never forget you

[@eamonahern7495]

The long flat out run from Rivazza down to Tamburello kind of almost makes up for it a little bit though.

[@patrickcannady2066]

@@eamonahern7495 Yeah, that's some consolation. I loved the panning camera shot from the outside wall of old Tamburello when the cars roared by at 260-270kmh, it really gave an impression of speed and excitement. This new longer straight section from Rivazza to Tamburello will see plenty of action, I'm sure.

[@dheerajbagam]

great voice!!

The name imola reminds most of us of one memory and it's not a good one.

[@daillyarran]

What, Alonso vs Schumacher? Pretty bloody good memory

Let people enjoy the good moments of F1 history rather than dragging up the death of one driver, when another 2 crashed in a similar manner, one of them also losing their life, at every given opportunity.

[@Dischingo]

Its a amazing circuit but not really suited for F1 especially at the current regs.

[@vinnyzeraBR]

Yeah I can't think of Imola or San Marino GP without remembering what happened on that tragic weekend in late April - May 1994.

[@acho8387]

it looks like it has lots of chickens

[@900108Chale]

Yup! I heard a French guy donated many or them. But FIA is worried some drivers may cut the chickens and cause drama.

[@bloop_rat]

karma for the drivers

[@alsheatonism]

Considering it gave us the best F1 race ever since Bahrain 2021😁, I'd say Imola has earned its place 😊 Unforgiving is the best way to describe it

[@lner3376]

Everyone hearing Hamilton has raced here before: Win #93 Me hearing that Gasly pre-season tested here and remembering he won the Italian GP: 😏

[@ethoras7396]

Dream on lol

[@patrickcannady2066]

It going to be an unpredictable race, the circuit punishes mistakes harshly...it will also be November in Northern Italy so don't count on a dry track.

R.I.P. Ayrton Senna. 1.05.1994

[@patrickcannady2066]

RIP Ayrton

[@DavidLucas-oj6ju]

I remember watching that race as well it was sad weekend

[@elmurcis1]

This is fun track, lot of laps done (in old (with last chicken) but not that old layout). Really like "fast left, fast-right->slow-right->uphill section in middle".

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

my experience racing at imola in racing games it is a fantastic track,easy to learn and high speed all the way through braking zones are easy to memorize and overall its good for battles all the tight turns leading to long straights will make for fantastic racing this race i am definitely looking out for

[@tassos2011]

It isn't only Raikonnen who has raced there - Alonso is back

[@andrewshirfield1842]

I was surprised how different it seems and how quick they made changes in 1995

[@richardmichael6937]

Lewis and others have commented on what a fantastic track it is - old school and al, the better for it but it makes it pretty difficult to overtake even with the one DRS section which begs the question if tracks like this will quietly disappear when things get back to normal. I'm optimistic that with the rule changes in 2022 and the reintroduction of ground effect cars which will allow cars to run closer together that will help tracks like Imola stay on the calendar as I'm with Toto on this one about detesting the Tilke car park tracks that are so wide with huge run off areas which are becoming the norm.

[@Gab-es9cm]

I remember playing F1 1999 on the playstation against my brother, and would always push up on the inside of him on the corners and 'bumper car' his Mclaren out of the way, great memories ... sorry Matt

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Not a huge f1 fan, but I had no idea they haven't raced here in *14* years.... That to me seems like Nascar not racing at Daytona for 14 years....I am sure the older fans are very happy to see her back on the schedule.

[@patrickcannady2066]

Yes. It should have never been off the schedule. It's a great circuit that translates to television very well.

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

Not everything COVID-19 has brought us has been bad, we've lost some ordinary tracks and gained some absolute cracking tracks.

[@andykane4414]

I hope it’s not too narrow for the modern cars

[@maxster10]

Modern cars are too big and too heavy for any track. Overtaking will be extra hard in Imola.

[@andykane4414]

@@maxster10 it should be interesting to see the overtake attempts though . Can’t wait to see them through aqua minaraly

[@patrickcannady2066]

I think DRS assisted passes between the second Rivazza and the braking zone for Tamburello are where you're going to see the most passing. Acque Minerale has never been a spot for overtaking. There might be a sneaky overtake at Tosa, though...in the old days, you might see Senna and Prost trying to outbrake each other going into Tosa.

[@maxster10]

@@andykane4414 no way they are gonna overtake through there. F3 cars cannot do that. Start finish line till Tamburello is the only place if drs zone is long enough.

[@andykane4414]

@@maxster10 yes I know that I was just saying that I can’t wait to see them flying through there . No chance of overtaking there

[@activat0rz]

I love these guide videos!

[@haziqfaiz731]

I wanna see what modern f1 cars can do if tamburello isn't a chicane

[@patrickcannady2066]

You'll just have to try it in a simulator, but I would fully expect them to take it flat at or near 300kmh. It would be impressive to see, no doubt, as long as they stayed out of the wall.

[@kben24]

Tamburello wouldn't be a dangerous corner by today's standards.

[@vyasponnuri3375]

30-4-1994 and 1-5-1994, the 2 darkest days in F1 history

[@dj62394]

These old European tracks should stay on the schedule

[@chiefdenis]

Love this track in assetto corsa

[@Praise_God369]

wow no chicanes in the last part ? thats good it enables some high speeds in the end of the straight but tamburello entry is still to tight in my opinion ...we dont se much passes ,maybe crashes lol

[@j.chiari4222]

San Marino isn't a Principality, it's a Republic.

[@Dean0017]

Great Track in it's current configuration. It's a great treat to see the fastest ever F1 cars race on this circuit. COVID does have some positives.

[@failingattempt9984]

Ofc covid has some positives

[@J4m3rs0n]

The old track before 1995 is better.

[@ChadSimplicio]

Should've kept the traditional name of the F1 race at Imola....the San Marino GP.

i need to go practice tosa

[@joribremer5260]

Why didnt they call it the Grand Prix of San Marino ?

[@pierrebinyom1747]

Because it's funded by the region of Emilia Romagna.

[@iViking90]

RIP Tassa

[@antonellogiannuzzi6609]

0:48 San Marino isn't a principality.....

[@niel868]

I don't think the race would be interesting, there are literally only 1 or 2 overtaking spots. Most overtaking would be done on drs straights. But this might also come back to bite me who knows 😂😂. Still would be better than sochi and catalunya

[@joeimbesi5361]

No different than Mugello or Portamao. Maybe there will be rain....

[@Dischingo]

@@joeimbesi5361 LOL wont happen since you said the R word.

[@spartangerm2122]

It’s a fast circuit that heavily punishes its drivers for messing up with its gravel traps. Like Mugello, this GP is looking to be one of high attrition, and we’ll probably be seeing a lot more accidents than on-track action.

[@boostav]

DRS only passes are pretty much the norm on most F1 tracks, but yeah Imola without the Villeneuve chicane would be phenomenal since it would allow for great overtakes going into Tosa.

[@Dischingo]

@@boostav Im just glad they took out the chicane at Variante Bassa its practically a "straight" now.

[@Mynuriz25]

Hai. Just wanna ask, why in the past, f1 named this track as San Marino. But today they named it as Imola Italy? San Marini is a different country right? Sorry newbie here.

[@giovannifoi12]

i'll answer even if it's been one year, (im from Imola) so basically San Marino has nothing to do with Imola, but since there was already the italian gp in Monza they called it San Marino which is another country really close to Imola

[@eoinmurphy210]

hamilton first,bottas second,max third,so whats new.

[@patrickcannady2066]

Maybe. It's Imola. Weird shit happens there

[@alonsogoatnodebate]

Super max max max

[@danielesbordone1871]

With these modifications done to the circuit, my grandfather can race on it. The Tamburello could have been "softened" in the event of a going off. Same can be said of the Villeneuve curve. This is why F.1 doesn't excite anymore. More than 90% of the original tracks have disappeared or have been modified to the point of being ridiculous.

[@hakan2034]

The name ist San Marino Grand Prix...

[@samiraperi467]

Not this year it ain't.

[@rohitmurthy9666]

Wait isn't imola like mugello in the sense it's a Ferrari test circuit?

@@jericho9222 Then just remove Alonso's result from the standings!!!! Give the win to whomever finished second! NOT HARD TO DO bud. The point is Alonso should be stripped of the victory.
