Welcome to the European leg of the Formula 1 schedule.

F1 is back at Imola this weekend to kick off a set of nine out of 10 races in Europe from now through September (the only exception being a quick pop over to Canada).

It will be the fifth installment of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix since Imola came back to the F1 slate in its pandemic-shortened 2020 season (the race was called off in 2023 due to flooding). It may well also be the final race at Imola for F1 for a bit, with anticipation that the incoming Madrid race could replace the second Italian GP in 2026.

The European leg means a lot of race weekends with the same session times, so you may be able to get into the swing of the schedule as the year goes on.
