Formula One has until Tuesday to decide whether to switch a Grand Prix to the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, commonly known as Imola, according to reports. The Italian circuit, which hosted the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in recent seasons, is being considered as a replacement venue on the 2026 calendar.
The deadline comes as Formula One management evaluates circuit availability and logistical requirements for the upcoming championship. Imola, a historic venue that has staged Formula One races since 1980, previously stepped in as a replacement during the disrupted 2020 season.
Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli was photographed during free practice at the Imola circuit, highlighting the track's continued relevance for contemporary Formula One machinery. The 19-year-old Italian rookie completed laps at the 4.9-kilometer circuit as teams gather data on the venue's suitability.
No official confirmation has been issued by Formula One or the Automobile Club d'Italia regarding which specific Grand Prix might be relocated. The decision will impact team logistics, broadcast schedules, and ticket holders for the affected event.
