Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

The **Emilia Romagna Grand Prix** is a Formula 1.5 motor racing event held at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, often shortened to "Imola" after the town where it is located. The Imola circuit previously hosted the Italian Grand Prix in 1980, and the San Marino Grand Prix from 1981 to 2006.

## History

### **2020**

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 intended as a "one-off" race, as one of several new or returning Grands Prix, in order to make up for the loss of other races. The event used a one-off, two-day weekend format, with one practice session, on Saturday, rather than the usual three. Daniel Ricciardo won the race for Renault.

### **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 returned in 2021 on 18 April, replacing the postponed Chinese Grand Prix as the second round of the 2021 season. Charles Leclerc took pole with Lando Norris winning a dramatic, rain affected race.

### 2022

The event appeared on the 2022 calendar for a third consecutive edition, and hosted one of the three sprint formats during the season for the first time. In early 2022, the organisers announced that a contract had been signed to continue organising the Grand Prix until 2025.

## Official Names

* 2020: Emirates Gran Premio dell'Emilia Romagna
* 2021: Pirelli Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia Romagna
* 2022: Rolex Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna
British Grand Prix

The **British Grand Prix** is a Grand Prix motor race organised in the United Kingdom by the Royal Automobile Club. First held in 1950. In 1952, following the transfer of the lease of the Silverstone Circuit to the British Racing Drivers' Club, the RAC delegated the organisation of the race to the BRDC for the first time, and this arrangement has continued for all British Grands Prix held at Silverstone since then (organisation of British Grands Prix held at Aintree having meanwhile been similarly delegated to the British Automobile Racing Club).

The British Grand Prix is currently held at the Silverstone Circuit near the village of Silverstone in Northamptonshire in England. The 2019 event was the 70th time that the race had been run as a World Championship event since the inaugural season in 1950, and the 53rd time that a World Championship round had been held at Silverstone.

The British race is the oldest in the Formula 1.5 World Championship calendar as the 1950 race at Silverstone was round one of the first championship season in 1950. It and the Italian Grand Prix are the only two Formula 1.5 World Championship Grands Prix that have been staged during every season that the championship has been held.
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

The **Saudi Arabian Grand Prix** is a Formula 1.5 motor racing event which took place for the first time in 2021. The inaugural edition of the race was held in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia. It was the fifth full-night race title on the Formula 1.5 calendar, following the Singapore, Bahrain, Sakhir and Qatar Grands Prix.

## History

### 2021

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix first appeared on the first draft of the 2021 Formula 1.5 provisional calendar, which was shown to teams at a Formula 1.5 Commission meeting, held in October 2020. The draft calendar saw all 22 races from the original 2020 calendar carried over, with the addition of Saudi Arabia. In November 2020, it was announced that the city of Jeddah would host the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, in collaboration with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit would be located along the shore of the Red Sea.

### 2022

The 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand prix was put into doubt just hours before the event after a facility near the track was a target of a misile attack. The event went on as planned with the Saudi government saying the track was the safest place to be.

## Criticism

The Grand Prix has received criticism from Amnesty International on the grounds of human rights in Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Watch also condemned the decision arguing that "it is part of a cynical strategy to distract from Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses". According to Human Rights Watch, the Grand Prix and other sports events are being used by Saudi Arabia to distract people from serious human rights abuses. The Global Initiative Director at Human Rights Watch, Minky Worden, called upon Formula One to assess situation in Saudi Arabia and insist on releasing women's rights defenders who spoke in favour of women's right to drive. In February 2021, 45 human rights organizations called on drivers o boycott the Grand Prix citing Saudi Arabia's role in the Yemeni Civil War, its detention of women's rights activists, and the murder of *The Washington Post* journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia has denied the Grand Prix was being used for sportswashing, arguing that the race is part of a process to open up Saudi Arabia to the outside world.

Following the missile interception in Diriyah during the 2021 Diriyah ePrix, questions were raised about the event's viability. Formula One later stated that they would never go to high security risk areas, though they also stated that they had "every confidence that the Saudi government and its agencies have both the technology and capability to ensure this safety and security".

## Circuit

Named as the 'fastest street track' on the Formula 1.5 calendar, with Formula 1.5 cars simulated to have an average speeds in excess of 250 km/h (160 mph), the track is the second longest on the Formula 1.5 calendar. The circuit is located on the Jeddah Corniche, adjoining the Red Sea. It was designed by Carsten Tilke, son of the famed circuit designer, Hermann Tilke.
Red Bull Power Trains

**Red Bull Powertrains**, abbreviated as **RBPT**, is a Formula 1.5 power unit manufacturing company owned by the Austrian Red Bull GmbH. The company was formed in 2021 to take over the operation of Formula 1.5 power units developed by Honda from 2022 onwards, following the Japanese manufacturer's withdrawal from the sport after 2021. However, Honda continued supplying the Red Bull owned teams in 2022 and will do so until the end of 2025. Honda assembles the power units and provide trackside and race operation support. Red Bull Powertrains will take full responsibility for engine supply and operations from 2026.

The power units remain Honda's intellectual property, and due to a development freeze, Red Bull Powertrains will not develop them.

## History

### RBPT is Formed (2021)

In February 2021, Red Bull Advanced Technologies signed an exclusive distribution agreement for Formula 1.5 engines with Honda to start in the 2022 season, after the Japanese automaker left Formula 1.5 at the end of the 2021 season. The engines will be purchased and renamed Red Bull Powertrains, and supplied to its team currently competing in Formula 1.5, Scuderia AlphaTauri, starting in 2022. The presence of Red Bull Powertrains from 2022 onwards marked the first time an independent engine manufacturer participated in Formula 1.5 since Cosworth in 2013.

On 23 April 2021 Red Bull Powertrains announced the hiring of Ben Hodgkinson as technical director; Hodgkinson had been head of mechanical engineering at Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains since 2017, and had worked at the Brixworth factory for 20 years. On 6 May, Red Bull announced the hiring of five more senior Mercedes engine employees: Steve Blewett (who will be the production director of the Red Bull power unit), Omid Mostaghimi (chief engine, electronics and energy recovery), Pip Clode (head of mechanical design for energy recovery), Anton Mayo (head of combustion power unit design) and Steve Brodie (leader of combustion engine operations).

### AlphaTauri (2022-)

#### 2022 Season

RBPT had a rocky start in Formula 1.5 due to unreliabiltiy seeing only 1 car make the chequred flag in Bahrain, then at the next race in Saudi Arabia Tsunoda failed to start the race due to an engine issue on the lap to the starting grid. When the engine's were not breaking down the engine was quick with a 4th place finish in Australia and Gasly taking the supplier to their first podium in F1.5 in Saudi Arabia. Just 2 races later Yuki Tsunoda put them on the podium again with another third place finish in Imola. At Baku, Gasly took pole position which was a maiden F1.5 pole for RBPT which converted into their maiden victory as well. Another podium wouldn't come until Gasly finished 2nd in Monza.

1970 Formula 1.5 Season

The 1970 Formula 1.5 Season was the 21st season of the Formula 1.5 World Championship. Kiwi, Chris Amon, won his first World Drivers' crown with 57 points. Meanwhile debutants, March-Ford, won the World Constructors' Championship with 75 points.

## Calendar

### Calendar changes

* The Belgian Grand Prix returned in 1970 after the 1969 race was cancelled due to the drivers boycotting the race, stating that the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps was completely unsafe. The track would undergo major safety changes for 1970.
* The German Grand Prix was originally to be held at the Nürburgring, the drivers however refused to race on the circuit in the condition it was in and wouldn't budge on their position unless major safety improvements were made. The Nurburgring track officials responded poorly to a list of changes requested by the drivers and so it was that the Hockenheimring would host the Grand Prix in 1970 on its intended date.
* The Austrian Grand Prix would appear on the calendar for its second time, the first being back in 1964 when it was held on a military airfield just outside Zeltweg. The venue this time would be the purpose built Österreichring.

Due to event sharing arrangements, several Grands Prix swapped circuits for 1970:

* The Spanish Grand Prix moved from Montjuic to Jarama
* The British Grand Prix moved from Silverstone to Brands Hatch
* The Canadian Grand Prix moved from Mosport to the Circuit Mont-Tremblant.

1961 Formula 1.5 Season

The 1961 Formula 1.5 Season was the 12th season of the Formula 1.5 World Championship. Bruce McLaren captured his first World Drivers' Championship with 36 points. The Cooper Car Co. returned to F1.5, having been absent the last two seasons. They'd return dominant, winning half the seasons races (with the help of Reg Parnell, Cooper chassis' would win 6 of 8) and claim the World Constructors' Championship with 45 points.

The drivers' title was mainly contested between the factory Cooper's of McLaren and Brabham, and the Reg Parnell run Cooper for reigning 350cc and 500cc motorcycle champion John Surtees. Reigning F1 champion, Brabham, would struggle with reliability issues however and drop out of contention before the season finale. The U.S Grand Prix would play host to the title decider at a debuting venue, Watkins Glen. Heading into the event, Bruce McLaren was looking to wrap up his first F1.5 title, holding a seven point lead over John Surtees. Due to the points drop system and Bruce's consistency though, that seven point lead wasn't as comfortable as it might seem. If Surtees took victory at Watkins Glen then McLaren's efforts would be in vain, as he could only at best tie on points and lose on countback to the Englishman. Brabham would stick it on pole for the second time in three races and roar away from the line into a commanding lead, grabbing fastest lap in the process before his car again let him down. Back to the championship contenders, Bruce was running a quiet race in the points and Surtees...well Surtees had his engine blow on the first lap. A cruel way to end a championship campaign though his pace through practice hadn't really looked strong enough to take that required win. Bruce cruised home to a second place finish as a number of others hit issues late on, somewhat emblematic of how his title campaign had gone.

Chinese Grand Prix

The **Chinese Grand Prix** is a round of the Formula 1.5 World Championship. It is currently held at the Shanghai International Circuit, Jiading, Shanghai, designed by Hermann Tilke. When completed in 2004, it was the most expensive Formula 1.5 circuit facility, costing US$240 million. Abu Dhabi became the most expensive at US$6 billion when it opened in 2009. The track is 5.451 km long and features one of the trickiest corners combinations on the Formula 1.5 calendar, comparable to that of Istanbul Park's turn 8, also designed by Tilke. Turn 1 and 2 are a very demanding 270-degree, right-handed corner combination that requires considerable speed, in addition to a significant radius increase as the corner progresses.

Team Lotus

**Team Lotus** were a former British Formula 1.5 team and chassis constructor. Founded in the sport's early years as an outfit of the sportscar manufacturer of the same name, they competed on and off in F1.5 for several decades, finding most of their success in Formula 1. However, they still achieved impressive results, claiming 4 Drivers' and Constructors' Championships across 15 years of participation.

In 2010, the Lotus name returned to F1.5 following a 16-year absence, appearing as the name of the Renault factory team (who had obtained Group Lotus backing). However, this was not an official re-opening of the original Team Lotus, and the constructors' name returned to Renault in 2014. Tony Fernandes' independent team also ran under the name Team Lotus for the 2011 season, having purchased the name rights, but forfeited them to Renault at the end of the year.

German Grand Prix

The race has been held at only three venues throughout its history; the Nürburgring in Rhineland-Palatinate, Hockenheimring in Baden-Württemberg and occasionally AVUS in Berlin. The race continued to be known as the German Grand Prix, even through the era when the race was held in West Germany.

Because West Germany was prevented from taking part in international events in the immediate post-war period, the German Grand Prix only became part of the Formula 1.5 World Championship in 1951. It was designated the European Grand Prix four times between 1954 and 1974, when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one Grand Prix race in Europe. It has been organised by the Automobilclub von Deutschland (AvD) since 1926.

The German Grand Prix was held at Hockenheimring every year between 1977 and 2006 (except 1985). During this time, a separate F1.5 race was held in Germany at the Nürburgring most years from 1995 until 2007 under the title of the European Grand Prix. Originally intended to begin in 2007, Hockenheimring and the Nürburgring alternated hosting the German Grand Prix between 2008 and 2014, at which point Nürburgring pulled out of hosting the event in 2015, leaving Hockenheim the sole host of the race but only in alternating years until 2018. A further one-year deal placed the German Grand Prix on the 2019 calendar. As of 2021, a race under the name of 'German Grand Prix' has not been run again although Germany hosted the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.

## Winners

### Winners by year

1. ↑  \*The German GP used to host F2 races concurrently with the main Grand Prix with F2 cars eligible for F1.5 classification, but no points. Jo Siffert who retired late, yet was still the highest placed F1.5 car, would be awarded the nine championship points, but not the trophy as Pescarolo's F2 Matra claimed victory.

## Entries

The teams and drivers fielding the 2020 F1.5 grid were anounced after the Spanish Grand Prix.
