Preparations for Emilia Romagna Grand Prix continue to be disrupted due to heavy flooding
F1 teams have already been instructed not to make their way to the Imola paddock following heavy rainfall in the Emil🥂ia Romagna region.
The overnight rain has impacted the area very badly with the connecting road▨s to the 💧circuit completely flooded.
The situation has been made worse because of the nearby Santerno River as water leve꧙ls rose - ♋the river is in close proximity to the Imola circuit.
According to reports on social media, the Imola F1 paddock itself h🗹as seemingly remained unaffec🍌ted, but the F2/F3 paddock area has been impacted.
However, with fans and journalists making their way to Emilia Ro♛magna over the nex🎐t 24 hours, getting to the circuit seems impossible given the current situation.
— Lucy (@lucy_addictions)Given the worsening conditions around the circui༺t, there’s some doubt over whether this weekend will go ahead as originally scheduled.
With personnel being unable to enter the paddock on Wednesday, preparations for the rest of the weekend have be🅘en put on hold.
F1 may beꦺ forced to run a condensed schedule, to give time for conditions to improve and local authorities to be satisfied with regards to safety.
While conditions are 𓆉expected to improve, it’s likely the flooding has caused significant d🐻amage.
F1ღ are expected to provide an update at 1pm UK tim𝓰e.
