He F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2023 from this weekend on Imola Hang on a wire. As you may have learned MDarrived BolognaF1 will update the situation this afternoon, but things are not looking good for the Grand Prix celebration.
Critical situation
According to sources close to the organization consulted by this newspaper, there are some elements that question the Grand Prix dispute. The main one is to check if the emergency plan can be approved for the public, something that cannot be done if layout accesses are blocked. In that sense, we need to see if F1 may opt for the possibility of holding the appointment without an audiencebut there are many other important elements to consider.
On the one hand, there is the question of the large amount of water that can continue to fall in the next hours, especially the next night, before the breathing time this Thursday to continue to hit the area in the three days of the Grand Prix. .
On the other hand, the major complications experienced in the area, with neighboring cities Cesena, Faenza, Riccione or Lugo, who suffered severe flooding which affected the majority of the population. Faenza is only 18 km away from the track and the situation there is really serious. The Marzeno and Lamone rivers they overflowed and the city was flooded. In this context, creating an event of such magnitude as an F1 Grand Prix at the time of emergency for the area is a very delicate decision because the authorities cannot afford to lose troops in fighting the water and helping the victims of this disaster.
Another question is to know if the water will continue to enter the route and if more complicated situations and floods may be experienced, considering that the The Santerno river flows right next to the Italian track.
