The president of the ACI, Angelo Sticchi Damiani, proudly claims the presence of two Italian races in the F1 world championship: “There were those who thought of a competition between Monza and Imola, while I have always thought that both had to be there – the words of ACI number 1. – It was difficult even to think about today’s situation, but we all worked together, thanks to the fact that we were passionate people: the president of Emilia Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, the minister Luigi Di Maio; the minister of sustainable infrastructures and mobility, Enrico Giovannini, the mayor of Imola, Marco Panieri, the president of the Imola circuit, Giancarlo Minardi, as well as Stefano Domenicali who opened the doors for us. We were good at exploiting this opportunity. Ferrari has sown on the territory even small companies that other F1 companies turn to and it is a fantastic reality that we almost do not realize. For the Cavallino we suffered a lot, instead John El kann and Mattia Binotto have gone ahead with their own strength and the result of the track is the fruit of the work of Italian brains, it should be emphasized. There is still a lot to do, but hearing the Italian anthem in two out of three matches was very nice. “Then the president of the ACI underlines the weight of other figures:” The costs of the event are around 28-30 millions and the revenue should be roughly on the order of that magnitude. The break even is almost reached, but we hope from here to the GP to be able to make the result more rounded. “The Emilia-Romagna Region, it was explained, contributed 5 million, the Foreign Ministry with 7, Con.Ami and the Municipality of Imola with 2.

The poster for the Imola GP was designed by the famous designer Aldo Drudi: “As a kid I used to cross the Santerno River to see the race without paying the ticket – says Drudi -. We made a manifesto that summarizes Italy, with three tricolor cars. and Ferrari a bit ahead. I wanted to avoid video game effects: the result was a non-aggressive, I dare say gentle, work that recalls those Sundays spent on the hills of a circuit we love so much “. And that on the weekend of April 24 are destined to boil with reinvigorated passion.
