MUGELLO AND SOCHI OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED TO 2020 F1 CALENDAR

Italy’s spectacular Mugello circuit will host a Grand Prix for the very first time in September, as Formula 1 announced the Tuscan Grand Prix and the Russian Grand Prix at Sochi have been added to the revised 2020 race calendar.

Mugello is owned by Ferrari, and the circuit’s first F1 event, September 11-13, the weekend after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, is set to be a celebration in more ways than one, given it will mark the Scuderia’s 1000th race in the world championship.

A regular on the MotoGP calendar, Mugello will be the fourth Italian circuit, after Monza, Imola and the fabled road course at Pescara, used just once in 1957, to host a world championship race.

F1 cars have tested at the circuit many times, however, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc doing so prior to the season opener and raving about its fast and flowing nature.

Russian Grand Prix, which will take place September 25-27, brings the current number of confirmed races in 2020 to ten, with more to be announced in the coming weeks. For the first time of the 2020 season, spectators will be able to see the battles of the best pilots in the world from the stands of the Sochi Autodrom.

As stated previously, Formula 1 expects the revised 2020 season to have between 15 and 18 races.
