FirstpostMugello will be the fourth Italian circuit to host a championship grand prix, after Monza, Imola and the Pescara road course. The Ferrari-owned Mugello circuit will debut on the Formula One calendar in September to host the Italian team’s 1,000th championship Grand Prix, with Russia’s race in Sochi also confirmed on Friday. “We are equally excited to see Formula One race for the first time at Mugello, an occasion that will mark Ferrari’s 1,000th Grand Prix.” Mugello will be the fourth Italian circuit to host a championship Grand Prix, after Monza, Imola and the Pescara road course. “To be able to celebrate an extraordinary anniversary like the 1,000th Grand Prix for Scuderia Ferrari at our own home at Mugello is an incredible opportunity,” said Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto. “Mugello is not just one of the most spectacular and challenging tracks for drivers and cars, it is also a structure that has made sustainability one of its priorities.” Imola, which hosted the San Marino Grand Prix up to 2006, could yet feature on the 2020 calendar if other races are cancelled.
