History

2020
Main article: 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to disruption of the originally scheduled race calendar, with a number of races cancelled. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was added to the revised calendar, as one of several new or returning Grands Prix, in order to make up for the loss of other races. The event used a new, two-day weekend format, with one practice session, on Saturday, rather than the usual three.[2][3] Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas qualified on pole, with teammate Lewis Hamilton winning the race.

2021

Despite only originally intended to be held as a one-off event in 2020 due to the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is due to return in 2021 on 18 April, replacing the postponed Chinese Grand Prix as the second round of the 2021 season.[4][5]
