Ferrari’s 1,000th F1 race in Mugello

The official name of the event, 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, Ferrari’s 1,000th F1 race, pays homage to the region that will host the race and to the historic anniversary that will be celebrated that day by Scuderia Ferrari, the only team to have taken part in all of the 70 Formula 1 seasons so far.
