After two races in Italy this season, the Tifosi can bring out their Italian flags again as Mugello might soon be a destination for the F1 circus. Adding a Ferrari base to the circuit? A more enthusiastic Italian crowd.
After the positive feedback from the Losail circuit, F1 looks to add another Moto GP circuit to its calendar. Although F1 had a celebratory Tuscan GP in 2020, the CEO of the circuit is ready to welcome Formula 1 permanently.
In a recent interview, Paolo Poli said, “We should succeed, when there will be the conditions, to follow up on the first Tuscan F1 GP so that it will be a structural event over time.”

The last Tuscan GP at the 1000th Ferrari F1 race
In 2020, it was a historic 1000th race for the Prancing Horses. As a result, a race in Mugello was a fitting location for the race. Complete with red safety cars and a special Ferrari livery, the race was about Ferrari through and through.
A race with three red flags and a lot of action, solidifying its place on the F1 calendar, would be an exciting move. A breathtakingly fast circuit, it was a challenge for the drivers the last time around.
