Preparations for Emilia Romagna Grand Prix continue to be disrupted due to heavy flooding
F1 teams have already beeꩲn instructed not to make their way to the Imola paddock following heavy rainfall in the Emilia Romagna regi🌃on.
The overnight rain has impacted the area very badly with the connec💧ting roads to t▨he circuit completely flooded.
The situation has been made worse be🔯cause of the nearby Santerno River as water levels rose - the river is in close proximity to the Imola circuit.
According to reports on social media, the Imola F1 paddock itselꦐf has seemingly❀ remained unaffected, but the F2/F3 paddock area has been impacted.
However, with fans and journalists making their way to Emiliaဣ Romagna over the next 24 hours, getting to the circuit seems impossible given the current situat🀅ion.
— Lucy (@lucy_addictions)Given the worsening conditions ar✱ound the circuit, 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 ꦉfor the rest of the weekend have been put on hﷺold.
🎃F1 may be 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 expected to improve, it’s likely ꦏthe flooding has cau🔯sed significant damage.
F1 are ex♈pected to provide an ﷺupdate at 1pm UK time.
