Down-the-line.com / Formula 1. Due to flooding in Imola, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which was due to take place next weekend, has been cancelled. Formula 1 expressed its support for those affected by the recent events in Emilia-Romagna and paid tribute to the work of the emergency services.

After discussions between Formula 1, the president of the FIA, the authorities and other parties, it has been decided not to organize the Grand Prix of Imola this weekend, because it is not possible to lead the event safely under such conditions.

Formula 1 recognized the decision as fair and responsible, given the difficult situation in the region and not wanting to put additional pressure on local authorities and emergency services.
