The current season in Formula 1 will be shorter by one stage. It is understood that the Grand Prix in Italian Imola, which was supposed to take place next weekend, has been cancelled.
As stated in the official statement of the race organizers, the competition will not take place due to severe flooding in the region.
“The Formula 1 community wants to express its words of support to the people affected by the recent events in Emilia Romagna. We also want to pay tribute to the work of the rescue services, who are doing their best to help those in need .
Following discussions between Formula 1, the President of the FIA, authorities from the relevant ministries, the President of the Automobile Club of Italy, the President of the Region of Emilia-Romagna, the Mayor of the city and the promoter, it It has been decided that the Imola Grand Prix will not be held this weekend.
The decision was made because under these conditions it was impossible to safely hold the event. This is the right and responsible decision, given the situation in which the cities and towns of the region are located. It is wrong to put additional pressure on local authorities and emergency services at this difficult time,” Formula 1 said in a statement.
