The organization of the F1 World Cup is studying whether or not to run this Sunday in Emilia Romaa, an area of Italy on red alert due to torrential rains
Rain, rain and more rain. Since last week, the Cyclone Minerva It is hitting central Italy, where the overflow of several rivers has caused material damage and forced the evacuation of populations. In this scenario, this weekend, comes the formula 1. On Sunday, the sixth Grand Prix of the season should be held at the Imola circuit, but the organization of the world and the local authorities are studying its cancellation this Wednesday. The sky leaves little margin.
In the first place because the route could be impassable. He river santerno it almost borders the asphalt and its flood has already flooded the lower area of the enclosure, where the Formula 2 paddock. Right now the central area of the circuit is not devoted, but access to it is closed and work cannot be done: the motorhomes have yet to be assembled, the mechanics cannot be installed…
If the storm subsides, it will be possible to run with an adjustment to the program, perhaps suspending the first free practice, but the local authorities fear the arrival of fans. In the next few hours, thousands of Formula 1 fans will land in the surroundings of bologna and there are several roads blocked and even some evacuated towns. In a red alert zone, the cancellation of the Grand Prix is a possibility on the table.
