IMOLA - Max Verstappen has won four times in a row at Imola, but a fifth next season looks unlikely with Formula One set to drop the Italian circuit.
There is no contract for 2026 and F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali has said it will be hard to justify Italy having two races given the demand from elsewhere.
Dutch four-time world champion Verstappen said he understood, with Monza having a contract to 2031 for the Italian Grand Prix, but also felt the loss.
"Losing these kind of tracks is a shame. I get it from F1's side of things, of course - the new tracks that we are going to," said the Red Bull driver after winning the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix on May 18.
