Mugello Circuit

The Mugello Circuit, formally known as the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello is an Italian FIA Grade 1 racing circuit, located in Scarperia e San Piero, Tuscany, Italy. The circuit, which was officially opened in 1974, hosted its first FIA Formula 2 Championship round during the 2020 season, having been added to the calendar due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Mugello had previously hosted the original Formula Two formula as well as International Formula 3000, with the Mugello Grand Prix specifically held for the categories intermittently between 1974 and 2000.

Background
The area around Mugello was first host to racing events in 1920, when a road race was organised around the town of Scarperia e San Piero for Grand Prix cars. A 66.2 km circuit was devised, which passed Carperia and San Lucia among other locations, and would host nine Grand Prix in ten years. The event then disappeared from the schedule before being revived in 1955, now as a sportscar race, before being incorporated into the World Sportscar Championship in 1965.

Fatality and Future: 1970 - Present
The end of the road course was brought about by an accident during the 1970 race, when Spartaco Dini crashed and struck a group of people in Firenzuola, killing a seven-month-old baby and injuring two children. The road course was closed and, two years later, construction began on a purpose built circuit on the eastern part of the road circuit. The new closed circuit measured 5.245 km when it opened in 1974, and would immediately be adopted by the European Formula Two Championship with the revived Mugello Grand Prix.

The Mugello Grand Prix would be held every year until 1984 under Formula Two rules, before being dropped in 1985. International Formula 3000 then staged four races at Mugello between 1986 and 1997, before the final Mugello Grand Prix was held in 2000 as part of the Italian F3000 Championship. The circuit since became a mainstay of the MotoGP World Championship, hosting the Italian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

In 2020 the Mugello Circuit was selected to host a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship for the first time, as the Covid-19 Pandemic tore apart the original 2020 schedule. The race would ultimately host the 1000th Grand Prix for Ferrari, as well as see the modern iteration of Formula 2 race at Mugello for the first time.

Circuit History
The Mugello Circuit was originally formed from roads linking several towns in the region of Tuscany, covering a total distance of 66.2 km and running through towns and villages. In 1974 a shorter 5.245 km circuit was formed near the eastern side of the road course, just outside Scarperia e San Piero, which would use a hill as its basis creating a dynamic circuit. The new purpose built circuit was immediately adopted by Formula Two and the Motorcycle World Championship, hosting the Mugello and Italian Motorcycle Grand Prix respectively.

Formula 2 History
Mugello had not featured on the FIA Formula 2 Championship radar at all, despite having been used by one of its predecessors, International Formula 3000, in the 1990s. However, after the original 2020 F2 calendar was completely wiped out by the Covid-19 Pandemic, Mugello was added to the revised schedule to support the inaugural Tuscan Grand Prix. Nikita Mazepin would go on to win the first F2 race of the weekend, before Christian Lundgaard claimed victory in the Sprint Race.
