San Marino, Imola - April 13th - 15th - 2001


About the San Marino GP

Even though Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger will forever remain in the racing fan’s heart, the tragedies of seven years ago are now nearly forgotten at Imola, and the race has moved on. Atmosphere, as one would expect, is still electric with Tifosi turning out in their droves to see their treasured red cars in action, and the team normally responds with a good performance. Last year Michael Schumacher thrilled the fans by taking his third win out of three. Teams still enjoy visiting there, with the legendary Italian cuisine, and normally clear, sunny weather.


Set up

Medium downforce, for this generally quick circuit. Suspension is set at stiff levels for stability. Grip can be sacrificed at Imola, where an all-round balance is required to be competitive.
