The Imola circuit, which has not escaped the floods in northern Italy, will not host the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix this weekend.
We wondered if the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix would go as planned. We now wonder if it will take place at all this year. “After discussions between Formula One, the president of the FIA (international automobile federation) and the competent authorities, the decision has been taken not to hold the Grand Prix this weekend“, announced the organizers on Wednesday.
Torrential rains have led to flooding in northern Italy and have already claimed five lives in the Emilia-Romagna region. The various teams had to evacuate the premises. “It is not possible to guarantee the safety of our fans, teams and staff“, regrets the promoter of F1, Formula One, who does not wish “put more pressure on local authorities and emergency services in these difficult times».
No information has been communicated as to a possible postponement, or a possible deletion of the Grand Prix from the 2023 calendar. The drivers are expected the following weekend in Monaco, then the following weekend in Barcelona for the Grand Prix of Spain.
