		The San Marino Grand Prix is a Formula One championship race which has been run at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in the small town of Imola, near the Apennine mountains in Italy, since 1981.
		It is called the San Marino Grand Prix because there is already an Italian Grand Prix, and the principality of San Marino is itself too small to host a grand prix.
		In 1980, the Italian Grand Prix moved from the high-speed Monza circuit to Imola, as a direct result of 1978's startline pile-up, which claimed the life of the popular Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson.

		After spending the early 1970s in the doldrums, Ferrari were resurgent in 1974 and the team's faith in the little known Austrian was quickly rewarded with a 2nd place finish in his debut for the team in the Argentine Grand Prix.
