Former F1 winner claims drivers want to see return of 'UNIQUE' track
Former F1 winner claims drivers want to see return of 'UNIQUE' track
2020 remains the standalone occasion that Formula 1 raced among the Tuscan landscape at the Mugello circuit, which handed Alex Albon his first podium, and Lewis Hamilton a 90th win in the sport.
A race filled with carnage, including two red flags due to carnage on the opening lap of the race, as well as a flying car during a safety car restart, provided plenty of entertainment to fans on their sofas who were unable to watch in person due to Covid-19.
Sadly, Formula 1 is yet to return to the track which played host to one of the best races of the decade so far, including a rare Max Verstappen retirement.
In 2021, it was reported that the circuit was ready to negotiate a deal with F1 to host more races, but no deal was met.
Fisichella: Mugello is unique
Former F1 winner Giancarlo Fisichella believes that Mugello should return to the calendar, despite growing concerns that there are too many races now.
He said: “I would like to see Formula 1 at Mugello again, he told Sky Italia. "I think all F1 drivers would like to see it too. I do not know the political and financial aspects and what should be done to bring back F1 here, but Mugello is unique.”
Sadly, it is unlikely that we will see a return any time soon, with both the USA and Saudi Arabia pushing for multiple races, and a lot more financial backing behind them, making it difficult for Mugello to compete for a spot on the calendar.
