The 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Emirates Gran Premio dell'Emilia Romagna 2020) was a Formula One motor race which took place on 1 November 2020 at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. It was the first Formula One race held at the Imola circuit since 2006 and the first ever running of a race there under the name of Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The race was the thirteenth round of the 2020 Formula One World Championship.

The 63 lap race was won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, with his teammate Valtteri Bottas taking second place, and Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo taking the final podium place. With their drivers finishing first and second in the race respectively, Mercedes secured its seventh consecutive World Constructors' Championship, making them the only team to win the championship in the turbo-hybrid era.

Background

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

See also: 2020 Formula One World Championship § Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and COVID-19 pandemic in Italy

The opening rounds of the 2020 Formula One World Championship were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed after the aborted opening round in Australia, prompting the FIA to draft a new calendar. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was not expected to feature on the 2020 calendar, but during the summer break, the FIA reworked the calendar in order to maximise the number of races in the season. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was therefore added to the 2020 calendar.[1] This was the first time since the 2006 San Marino Grand Prix that the track has hosted a Formula One Grand Prix.[2] As a result, Kimi Räikkönen is the only driver who competed who had previously raced at the track in Formula One, having done so from the 2001 to the 2006 edition of the San Marino Grand Prix.[3] The race weekend was scheduled to be held over two days rather than the traditional three days, hosting only one practice session of 90 minutes.[4] Initially, 13,000 fans were expected to attend the race.[4] However, due to a surge of cases attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, organisers announced that the Grand Prix would take place behind closed doors.[5]
