Why Imola's step back in time is refreshing for F1's future
OPINION: Although Imola hardly yielded a classic Formula 1 race in the 2022 edition of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the atmosphere that enveloped the round underlined the value of hosting F1 races at classic venues, a scarcity in the championship's recent visits to less historic environs
Let’s not sugarcoat things: Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was not a Formula 1 race that will live long in the memory for the on-track spectacle.
The anticipation in the build-up about the damp conditions and possibility of more rain hitting mid-race ultimately descended into a fairly tepid affair. The race looked settled from half-distance, and barring Charles Leclerc’s late spin into the barriers, little happened to disprove that.
